The Midwest is pretty laid-back, one thing would be clothes. Not very many people would spend $100 on a shirt. People don’t care where you bought your clothes, just that they look good on you. In High school, not counting team dress-up days for sports, everyone wears jeans/sweats and a t-shirt/ sweatshirt. Most peolpe are Friendly and you don’t have to worry about burglary, people go on two week vacations and don’t even lock their doors. You just don’t have to.
And if your worried about it being a party school, don’t. As long as you don’t try and be a prefect saint, they won’t care too much.

If you’re worried about the weather, the Midwest is all the same, hot and humid summers, nice spring/fall, and cold winters. So it won’t make a difference between Iowa/Indiana.

Also, don’t compare it to Cal. Or any other region. If you do, you won’t find the good parts about the Midwest. It would be like going to another country and constantly comparing it to the US. When you’re there, take things as there are.

There will every type of person you can think of. Just with smaller groups. Although, a lot of the hicks stay at community colleges. Oh, and don’t worry, very few peolpe only think of farming.
