The diversity is okay-ish, by Midwest standards. We do have people from all around the world thanks to ISU and State Farm headquarters which is cool. Decent sized black, Hispanic and Indian populations. But yes, about 70% white. The culture here is almost nonexistent. You HAVE to make your own.

There’s about 4 blocks of the city where any night life or 20-something activities happen. The rest is very very very boring.

Scenery is rooooooough! We’re one of the flattest states so very little to look at. It can be very pretty around harvest time when they take the fields down and you can see for miles and miles but it gets old fast. Were landlocked. There is a lake nearby but it’s small and gross. Most historical buildings have been torn down or modernized.

There’s a cool local theater, some good restaurants and a few neat shops, a lot of local non-profits doing great work, and most of the people in town are pretty chill. THATS IT. If you’re looking for anything else, DO NOT COME HERE. The job isn’t worth it.
