Although I would advise visiting first, we did not...never had been to the state
BUT we came here so that I could study Marine & Environmental science (my dream studies way back when, but those were not 'practical' studies then) - the midwest has very limited offerings on both of those (in fact very few places do, and some that do have much cooler water..) and the tuition was good... and the housing was affordable... and it was only for a couple of years, unless we liked it... almost 9 years later, we are still here... and I am still in school (slow learner!)
