What surprised me most, and my favorite part about college so far, is the amount of free time I have now. In high school you were in class for an 8 hour day. At college you have class for about 3, then the rest of the day to yourself. Granted, many students have jobs, other activities, and let's not forget about the homework... but I still like having the time to do things other than sitting in a lecture hall all day!

Hello again from Academic

Hello again from Academic Advising! College is an amazing time to go to all of your classes - and still have time to do all of the other things you've always wanted to do! Whether it is volunteering, working on-campus, having an internship, or joining an organization - UNI has so many opportunities for you to get involved. Check out the online job board where you can find on-campus and off-campus jobs and internships. I also recommend you look at CareerCat and create an account to be a part of some awesome job experience as well. So, whatever your interests may be - UNI is the place to do it! Contact our office for any additional questions or resource help. We are located at 102 Gilchrist or call us at (319) 273-3406 and we'd be happy to help you :)
