Iowa City

I came here to visit the University of Iowa and was pleasantly surprised! It was realty beautiful in the summer, the campus was very walkable, and the downtown area was pleasant and next to campus. I especially enjoyed trying local dairy foods at the local grocery store in the downtown area and walking through the shops.
