LOL I went to UNI 2 years ago I’m not surprised by this behavior. I had an inside track on the goings on of the campus and this is nothing compared to many other things that happened even while I was there. UNI is in a small town called Cedar Falls. The only thing to do there is go to the bar or exercise. Kids are constantly getting arrested out there for alcohol or drug induced occurrences. |
