to tell you the truth: I've heard from some universities around the world
(in
the news etc.), but I've never heard from your university. But this is
only me.


Hey -- didn't you hear? We just received national press coverage for being
the university with the highest percentage of "binge drinking" in the
nation?

;-)

Ah, to be young again...

Actually, the University of Iowa is routinely ranked in the top ten in the
country, and it's generally considered number one in the U.S. for literature
and writing. If you've ever heard of the "Writer's Workshop," it's based
right here in Iowa City.

Of course, being Austrian, I suppose it's a long shot that you would have
heard of an English language writer's workshop?

Grad students from all over the world flock here to attend it, and admission
is incredibly prestigious. Once you've "been to the workshop" you are
generally considered "somebody" in the literary world.
