Review of Iowa City, Iowa

I don't know why people love Iowa City. It's awful
Star Rating - 1/22/2017
I am thankfully just finishing grad school and I can't get out of this place fast enough. Parking is a racket, the police are paid to waste the time of citizens, and the weekends are generally limited to dodging 19 year-old kids vomiting in the street. There is nearly zero culture, unless you're literally an alcoholic.

Iowa City maintains its high ratings for 'places to live' because they don't actually poll people who live here. If you're looking to move (or just travel), I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
