University of Iowa vs University of Nebraska

The University of Iowa's main campus is located in Iowa City. The campus is roughly bordered by Park Road and U.S. Highway 6 to the north and Dubuque and Gilbert Streets to the east. The Iowa River flows through the campus, dividing it into west and east sides.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln operates three campuses, which are laid out over a combined 2,815 acres. The three campuses are city campus, east campus and innovation campus.

Student Life is a one-stop resource for events, student clubs and organizations, community resources, and student support. You can live just a short walk or bus ride away from the heart of campus with your fellow first-year students in Iowa's residence halls. There are over 500 student organizations, including groups focused on politics, sports, games, lifestyles, dance, song, theater, and a variety of other activities. The University of Iowa has 20 varsity athletic teams, known as the Hawkeyes. All teams are members of the Big Ten Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I. In 2004 the university established an annual $25,000 contract with the newly reopened Iowa City Englert Theatre to host concerts and performances for as many as 40 nights a year. Students participate in a variety of student media organizations.

UNL's City and East campuses are cities within the city. City Campus borders downtown to the north, and has a park-like urban character. East Campus is less dense, with a magnificent 'woodsy' getaway in the Maxwell Arboretum, a grove of large specimen trees and shrubs. Both campuses are managed as botanical gardens, and are beautiful in any season.At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Huskers (as the students are known as) have the ability to shape their lives through enriching art, exciting student programs and helpful well-being resources.
