A Great College Town

I lived in Cedar Falls while attending the University of Northern Iowa. It's a great college town. Main street is nice and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. I enjoyed my time in Cedar Falls.
The water is heavily chlorinated so I recommend a water filter. Housing prices are higher here because of the University, but it's possible to find an affordable place without a lot of trouble.
There are a lot of outdoor places to explore, and the Gallagher Bluedorn brings in some great performers. There are always games, events, plays and shows on campus.
Neighboring Waterloo is one of the most dangerous cities in the state, but Cedar Falls is nicer with less crime.
Winters are harsh in Iowa. Cedar Falls is extremely windy, especially on campus. The wind and bitter cold can make winter's downright miserable.
