I had been accepted to University of Washington, Unviersity of Washington, Saint Louis, Boston College, Univ. Mass., Pacific Lutheran University, San Francisco State University and Colorado University.
I think that if I had gone to any of those instead of Iowa State I wouldnt have as much community interaction like I do in the Ames metro area. There are plenty of people here that know my family and/or me from when we lived nearby years ago. I've been able to get involved in local elections and be interviewed with papers around the nation for the recent democratic presidential caucus season.
Plus I dont think I'd be living in quiet neighborhoods, duplexes and townhouses, or have as amazing of a parks and recreation or public transportation as Ames has.
