WARNING before you send your child to an upper Midwest cold weather college

[Anonymous]

Buffalo is in the Rust Belt. What are the Rust Belt states? Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, western New York, Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

No teens in 2023 are growing up dreaming of moving to freezing cold podunk Rust Belt towns for college.

Sorry you hate Michigan so weirdly and irrationally, OP, get over it!!

Winters in Michigan drove me crazy. If you are active, it can be a rough 6 months. There aren't a whole lot of options unless you are into snowmobiling or ice fishing. The skiing in SE Michigan is also horrible. One of the ski "resorts" is a former garbage dump.

Finally you admit you’re crazy. You’re starting on the road to recovery. Now just stop posting altogether.

Huh? Maybe there is more than one person who doesn't like freezing their ass off for 7 months? I know, imagine that. Just like the Northeast, Michigan can be ok if you are a couch potato or don't mind spending a lot of time in the gym or hanging out at the bar.

No, they are dreaming of moving to Northern Virginia.

Make up your mind, are you talking about the Rust Belt or the upper Midwest? The Rust Belt includes both the Midwest and the Northeast.

Hahahaha literally the most unglamorous and uncharismatic part of the country. Only Northern Virginians think they're the center of the world. Rest of the world has no idea or cares one inch about them.

How many times do we have to talk about Michigan weather?

Are you really going to say Cal, UCLA, and USC are better this week? I think not.

But it's gray and dreary outside today. A cold rain is on the way. Surely no college student can survive in these conditions?

It’s winter break so it’s ok.

Places like Worcester, Newark, Trenton, Camden, Scranton, Allentown, Danbury and Binghamton are definitely in the rust belt.

2022’s fastest growing major cities are on the coasts, Mountain West, and Sun Belt.

The most dying cities include the northern Rust Belt’s Detroit, Milwaukee, Buffalo, and Cleveland.

What schools in this conversation are in Detroit, Milwaukee, Buffalo, or Cleveland?

Those are the biggest cities in the upper Midwest. They’re all dying because they’re crummy places to live. If you’re an UMC teen, why go to college in a region that’s cold and dying? Please distill the point? There is no point. You’re just biased because you’re from there or stuck there.

Why would it matter to a kid attending Michigan that Michigan the state is not doing well? An OOS student was never planning to live there after graduation, anyway. I mean, New Haven is a pit and no one dreams of starting their lives in Connecticut after graduation, but that doesn't seemed to have hurt Yale. Heck, out of all the Ivies, only Harvard and Columbia are located in places where graduates of those schools might want to stay after they get their degree.

Many top universities aren't really in a place where people want to stay after graduation. It's not really relevant to the students, though, as they tend to scatter all over the country and world after they graduate.

You're right. There are zero kids dreaming of going to University of Chicago, Notre Dame, Michigan, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon or Cornell. I heard these schools didn't get any applications at all this year because no self-respecting high school senior would ever go there.

Were you always this ignorant?

It's fascinating that the Rust Belt lifers can't get it through their thick skulls that Ivy League colleges are unique. And Notre Dame is unique. On the other hand, gigantic over-enrolled Big Ten colleges are not unique. That same cattle call binge drinking undergrad experience is available in every state college in the union. You don't have to be depressed and freeze your ass off all year in Indiana or Michigan to be in an 800 student bio lecture and root for a football team.
