U of Iowa Enrolls Largest-Ever Freshman Class
The University of Iowa will welcome between 4,250 and 4,300 first-year students to campus this fall, making for the largest freshman class in the school's history.
This year's freshman class outnumbers last year's by approximately 400 students.
University of Iowa officials say this year's admissions yield was higher partly because of the school's rising academic reputation and partly because of the University's efforts to reach out to students from neighboring states.
Other Iowa schools are seeing unusually large freshman classes this year, too. Iowa State University expects to enroll between 3,900 and 4,000 first-year students, which is 130 to 230 more than it usually has. The University of Northern Iowa expects a smaller but significant increase in its student body.
