Vibrant Campus Life

The first two semesters are spent studying full-time on our beautiful 391 acre university campus in Fairfield, Iowa, a rural setting of forests, walking trails, and lakes.

Single rooms are standard for all students providing quiet and privacy in the residence halls. The rooms are carpeted and fully furnished, and equipped with 24-hour high-speed Internet access. Most students are housed in residence halls with central bathrooms. The men and ladies are housed in separate residence halls. Housing options in our local city are also available at additional expense.

U.S. EMBASSY INTERVIEW WAITING TIMES AND MSCS APPLICATION PROCESSING TIMES

We have found that many countries have very delayed interview dates. Please see Visa Appointment Wait Times (state.gov) to find out the length of time to get an interview date for your country/city.

If the interview waiting time is more than 2 months, we encourage you to apply and complete your application immediately, even if you are planning to apply for a future entry. This way you can complete the application process, get your I-20, and then get an interview date. You must have an I-20 to get the interview date.  If the date is earlier than you plan to come to the U.S., you can always postpone your arrival date once you get the visa. We would just issue you a new I-20 for the entry date for which you plan to come.

For questions regarding this information, please contact our admissions office at csadmissions@miu.edu.
