Iowa is big, though I believe it's the smallest of the Big 10 schools. I think it has roughly 20,000-30,000 people that go here. I can't imagine going anywhere smaller. You meet so many people, and I like lots of people, small towns are bad enough, so at least this small college town has a lot of students. I was also considering U of Illinois at Chicago, which is considerable smaller, but is in an urban area, I have to be in an urban area.
It may seem like you get lost in the shuffle, but professors and TA's all have office hours, and it's not that bad, since everyone is in the same boat at you are. Plus, we have lots of school spirit, football is a big deal, especially this year because we are doing awesome!
