Always love going back to Iowa City and walking the campus of the University of Iowa. Nothing beats it on football game days. Stroll with the crowds down Melrose Avenue and eat to your heart's content - lots of choices from burgers, brats, steaks, chops, etc. The atmosphere on football days is electric. More

I've been at the University Hospital. The football stadium is right across the street and you can walk in from the sidewalk. The other schools in the university have developed a national reputation for excellence. More
