[编辑本段]英文介绍
The University of Iowa is a major national research university located on a 1,900-acre campus in Iowa City in southeast Iowa, on the Iowa River near the intersection of U.S. Interstate Highways 80 and 380. Iowa is composed of 11 colleges, the largest of which is the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, enrolling most of Iowa's undergraduates. The Henry B. Tippie College of Business, the Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, and the Colleges of Education, Engineering, Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, enroll undergraduates, and with the Colleges of Dentistry and Public Health provide graduate education in conjunction with the Graduate College.
Some Numbers
More than 29,000 students enroll at Iowa each year. Some 64 percent come from Iowa, 21 percent from adjoining states, and 8 percent from the remaining states. International students from 109 countries make up 7 percent of the University's enrollment. The faculty numbers about 1,700 and there are about 13,000 staff. The total annual operating budget is about $2.1 billion, and there are more than 120 major buildings, most of them within walking distance of one another. Adding to the population are more than a million visitors each year who come to enjoy cultural events and art exhibits, to attend Big Ten athletic events, and to participate in the many conferences and educational programs scheduled at the University year-round.
Community
The Iowa City area community includes Coralville, North Liberty, Solon, and other small towns with a total population of about 100,000. The University both provides and attracts a wide variety of cultural opportunities, Big Ten athletic events, and a number of business endeavors resulting from scientific and educational research that originated at Iowa. In the summers, Iowa City sponsors weekly downtown jazz and pop concerts, and all through the year major poets, writers, artists, historians, scientists, and others speak or perform in University venues or to read at local bookstores. Excellent public schools, close, safe, and comfortable neighborhoods, and a highly educated population mean that Iowa City frequently appears high on “best-place-to-live” listings in national magazines. The nearby countryside, good state parks, and the Iowa River provide many opportunities for walking, biking, and boating. Twenty miles to the north is Cedar Rapids, Iowa’s second-largest city, home to the Eastern Iowa Airport and a population of about 120,000.
History
Established in 1847, Iowa has won international recognition for its wealth of achievements in the arts, sciences, and humanities. Iowa was the first U.S. public university to admit men and women on an equal basis and the first institution of higher education in the nation to accept creative work in theater, writing, music, and art as theses for advanced degrees. It established the first law school and the first educational radio station west of the Mississippi, broadcast the world's first educational television programs, and developed and continues to hold preeminence in educational testing.
Strengths
The University has world renowned research programs in genetics, hydraulics, and speech and hearing, and has recorded major innovations in agricultural medicine, biocatalysis, biomedical engineering, biomedical sciences, and pharmacology education. Its graduate programs in audiology, printmaking, creative writing, speech-language pathology, and nursing service administration are first-ranked. Iowa scientists, including James Van Allen, have been pioneers in space research, designing and building research instruments for more than 50 successful U.S. satellites and space probes. The University of Iowa operates one of the nation's most advanced and comprehensive university-owned teaching hospitals. It also has developed the most technically advanced driving simulator in the world.

[编辑本段]卢刚事件
1991年11月1日万圣节这天,中国留学生卢刚在刚刚获得衣阿华大学太空物理博士学位的时候,开枪射杀了3位教授和副校长安-柯莱瑞以及一位和卢刚同时获得博士学位的中国留学生山林华。枪杀五人之后,卢刚随即当场饮弹自尽。
开枪杀人的卢刚是北京市人,出生于普通工人家庭,18岁考入北京大学物理系,1984年通过李政道主持的中美物理学交流计划选拔,毕业后旋即以交换学生身份公费赴美攻读博士学位,就读于衣阿华大学物理与天文学系,时年22岁。卢刚毕业时未能获得最佳论文奖,并面对巨大就业压力,最终酿成悲惨血案。
1991年11月4日,安-柯莱瑞的3位兄弟以她的名义捐出一笔资金,宣布成立安-柯莱瑞博士国际学生心理学奖学基金,用以安慰和促进学生的心智健康,减少人类悲剧的发生。

你说哪个学校啊?爱荷华大学还是爱荷华州立大学?
不过两个大学都是美国前100名的学校,每年的排名也都排得很近,教学和学校设施是没的说的,能进100都是高端学校了。我即将要去爱荷华州立大学读研,爱荷华州立是公立大学,相对来说,公立大学提供奖学金的机会比较多,据说被评为全美最美丽的校园之一。本回答被网友采纳
