Up until I started college a little over 2 years ago - I had lived in my same chicago suburb all of my life - and loved every second of it
Like you, I love the neighborhoods, downtown, how well I know my way around Chicago and its suburbs, the people, the skyline is beautiful especially at night, i love going to the lake in the summer - I love Chicago, and I know it will always be home for me
Don't get me wrong - Iowa City is a great college town - but thats what it is - a college town, somwhere you live for 4 years and then move on!
