Where is the nearest international airport to Ames, Iowa State?
Question:
I will be studying in Iowa State University and coming from out of the United States. So, please I need to know what is the nearest international airport to Ames city which is located in Iowa State.
Answer:
Des Moines International is the closest.
But, to be honest, flying into Des Moines is VERY VERY expensive. You'd be better off flying into Minneapolis International Airport and then driving down, if money is an issue.

Where can I buy North Face Jackets in Ames, Iowa?
Question:
Okay, I just moved here to go to Iowa State. And I've been looking for a new jacket. Mine has gotten so dirty. I've been to the mall over here, which by the way, is very small and depressing. I looked in every store that could possibly sell it, but no luck. Everyone's telling me that my best bet would be to drive down to Des Moines, but I don't want to waste my money on gas. Does anybody know of a store in Ames that sells them? Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what it's like to live in ames, Iowa?
Question:
I want to know about good neighbourhoods to rent an apartment in with a college student's budget, fun places to go hang out and also about the weather. I am moving there this October from West Virginia.
Answer:
Iowa has humid continental climate which means warm summers and cold winters with an average precipitation of about 35" per year. Extremes in temperature are possible, and spring and fall, though short, are some of the best times of the year, weatherwise.
Ames is a state university college town; thousands of students mean lots of apartment complexes catering to university students. October is a bit late isn't it? Don't classes start in August? Are you worried that the apartments will be filled up by the time you get there?
As for "fun places" they have lots of them and most are called bars.
As for dealing with the weather, you are arriving on the cusp of winter so pack warm clothes for the next 5 months.

How many people will vote at the Iowa Ames Straw Poll?
Question:
My prediction is that Ron Paul will win. My prediction for the amount of voters is 5000. It will be a moral victory for Ron Paul but it will be a very expensive one. If the mainstream media ignores the event it will have been a waste of time for the Ron Paul campaign.
The straw poll is tommorow.
Answer:
I will definitely vote for Ron Paul... Please advise to when the Iowa Ames Straw Poll will take place, so that I don't miss the opportunity to vote for the good doctor.
