I think the terms "isolated" and "very cold" are relative. I'd see a place like Carleton College, Bowdoin, or Potsdam that way. Not U of R.

Well, duh. And if you're from southern Florida, GW will seem cold.

Most people think U of R is very cold. There are underground tunnels between buildings (though not dorms for security reasons).

It's cold. And the undergrads leave town in late spring, which is when the weather becomes really nice.

Visiting now would give a sense of what it's like there. Winters are long. You're not near much but it had an airport. It's a school where you'd mainly stick to campus rather than spend most of your time in the surrounding city.
