Depends on what one is looking for. Iowa is a small rural state with a few medium size urban locations, some of which are college towns. People are genuine, education is highly valued and the community in general is strong. Good beer is readily available :). Some winters are milder than others, and the worst of the summer typically doesn't last more than a couple of weeks. Ragbrai is a unique experience that should not go unrecognized in my humble opinion.
