"On the Street Where You LIve"

   If you choose to live in one of the women's residence halls, Burge or Currier, this fall, you'll find that only a few blocks south "On the Street Where You Live" is the center of Iowa City and campus activity.
   One of the first landmarks you'll notice here is the gold-domed Old Capitol, once home of the state government, now administrative center of the University.  Standing in the center of the Pentacrest, surrounded by four of the University's most-used buildings, (University Hall, Physics Building, Schaeffer Hall, and MacBride Hall), Old Capitol is a symbol of SUI life.
   Across the street from the Pentacrest shine the neon lights of downtown Iowa City.  In its small but adequate business district, you'll discover that Iowa City is truly a university town.  It provides many services and conveniences for you and your fellow SUIowans.  There are two local banks ready to serve you, several department stores for your everyday needs, and for the fashion-conscious coed many smaller clothing shops with just the selection of college wear to suit your tastes. Most stores in the area will cash your checks upon presentation of your student identification card.  (You'll receive this ID card upon your admission to SUI; it's used not only for identification, but also to obtain free student tickets for plays, lectures, concerts, and athletic events.)  Travel connections in and out of Iowa City may be made by the Rock Island Railroad, Ozark Airlines, and several bus lines.  Iowa City is geared to serving the University and you.
   To the west of the Pentacrest, across the Iowa River, are the University Hospitals (including a Student Health Center designed to meet your medical needs), the new Law Center, the Hawkeyes' football stadium, the Field House, men's residence halls, and Westlawn, nurses' dormitory.  Along the west bank of the river stand the Art Building and the University Theatre.
   Coming back across the river via the new footbridge, you find yourself ready to survey the northern sector of the campus.  On the riverbank are the Union, the University Elementary School and High School, and looking up the hill you'll see the Women's Gym, the Chemistry and Dental Buildings (including a dental clinic for your convenience), and North Hall. Farther east stands East Hall, center of the Speech Pathology, Psychology, and Education Departments.  Nearby is the Music Building from which resound the efforts of aspiring musicians.  To the south of the Pentacrest lies the Communications Center, Engineering Building and the Library.
   At first glance, SUI's campus looks big and puzzling, the buildings all look alike.Such a maze, and, oh so many people rushing past you.  Then someone smiles at you, and suddenly you feel a part of the large, friendly SUIowan student body.
