Off-Campus living

Off-campus living is one of those first independent choices you may make. With it will come challenges and possibly new experiences in peer pressure. Once you’ve chosen your roommate(s) and identified an apartment or house to live in, there can be a great sense of excitement. Often that excitement overshadows the seriousness related to signing a lease.

Upper Iowa University offers various opportunities for its students to enrich their extracurricular experiences and boost their career prospects. These opportunities include events, trips, clubs, and organizations. Moreover, they value the well-being of our community members and provide a comprehensive benefits package along with a Wellness Program that emphasizes healthy living.
