The Big Ten conference boasts some of the best academic universities in all of America. It also features some of the most beautiful campuses that the nation has to offer.
Part of this prestigious group of universities and campuses, the University of Iowa is no different. There’s so much to see on campus.
The iconic Pentacrest features some of the best sights on campus, including the Old Capitol and the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History. The Iowa Memorial Union has been one of the hubs on campus for generations dating back to 1925.
Of course, several of our favorites in Iowa City are Kinnick Stadium, Carver-Hawkeye Arena and Duane Banks Field. Chances are that you might be interested in more than just sports, though.
