Ames

I love living in a small town. The population of Maryville is 12,062 people and the size of the town is 5.03 square miles (Maryville, Missouri). The population of Ames 61,792 people and the size of the town is 21.6 square miles (Ames, Iowa). The population of Harlan is 5,027 people and the size of the town is 4.37 square miles (Harlan, Iowa). I am used to having a small population in my town and more used to a smaller town. Ames is about 12 times the population of Harlan and Maryville is about two times the population of Harlan. Maryville and Harlan are very comparable in square miles and Ames is about four times the square miles of Harlan. The amount of people that attend Iowa State University is 36,001 (Enrollment Statistics). The amount of students that attend Northwest Missouri State University is 6,593 (Northwest). I am used to having roughly 500 student in my school. Either school would clearly be a very different change in size, but that will be the same with every college I attend. Even though the size of town and college is much bigger than I am used to, I am sure it will not seem like it is that big when I…
