Paul, a libertarian-leaning Republican, has made college students a major part of his campaign, saying he appeals to those advocating fiscal conservatism but a less aggressive foreign policy.
He is also planning rallies at Drake University on Jan. 28 and The University of Iowa on Jan. 31.
Paul has struggled during the past few months, with most national and state polls showing him at only a few percentage points.
