Although most apartment complexes in Ames do not allow pets, one agency, Ev Cochran and Associates, does. We try to cater to a lot of veterinary kids. We've found they almost all have pets and tend to be more mature students. Cochran said he has pets himself, and he sympathizes with the tenants. Students that live on campus or who are not allowed pets in their apartments can still spend some quality time with animals by visiting the Iowa State farms.
Students are always welcome to go to farms and interact with the animals.
Skarr said, however, that students should let the herdsmen know when they will be on the premises. A lot of the students who visit the farms, Skarr said, include those that were raised on farms. Skarr said that there are job and volunteer opportunities which really help farm kids. Copyright 1997 by the Iowa State Daily Publications Board. All rights reserved.
