Anyone who ever attended school remembers those final exam nightmares—the ones where you show up naked or realize you sat through an entire semester in the wrong class. Finals can be stressful: for many students, those test scores determine a large percentage of their grade. And finals week comes on the heels of final projects and presentations, upping the stress even more.
When American students get to know international students, they start thinking about their own views. ‘Why do I believe this? Why do I think that?’ That’s a healthy process, and it’s one of the goals of a university education—to examine values, to strengthen them, to adapt others.
University of Iowa undergraduate Holly Moriarty helped develop a pilot program on campus that recycled 17 tons of residence hall cafeteria leftovers by turning them into rich compost. As a result, the University cut down on waste, area residents got better organic materials to grow their gardens, and Moriarty earned a great grade in her Sustainable Systems... course.

The transition to college is notoriously stressful. Of course it’s
hard on parents, adjusting to life with one fewer mouth to feed, schedule
to keep track of, and quick morning hug good-bye. But it’s also
a major transition for students, as happy as they may seem about
being on
their own.

The end of the first semester and winter break are in sight. Students
look forward to home-cooked meals, sleeping ’til noon, and hanging
out with old friends. Parents look forward to having things the way they
used to be, with the entire family sitting around the dinner table once
more.
The University of Iowa campus is a big place. With its approximately 29,000 students and 13,000 employees, some students may find that it’s more populous than their hometowns. And even for students from urban areas, there are adjustments to be made. Fortunately, the faculty and staff of the University are here to help.
