How does anyone avoid a hot, sticky summer?

California
But personally after many visits to California (in laws in LA) I would take DC, Baltimore, Philly and NYC, any day.

California has no water! It’s ground zero fir the climate crisis. Lake Mead and Lake Powell are at historic lows. You couldn’t drag me to California.

Summers in DC are horrible with terrible humidity. The farther south you go, the worse it gets.

As a native Minnesotan I’m chuckling at these replies. The most absurd is the getting lost in a snowstorm one. That is impossible on or near a college campus. However, getting blitzed and passing out in the snow is possible and has happened on northern campuses.

Ithaca is about 10 degrees colder than DC. It is warmer than Ann Arbor, Madison, Minneapolis, and even smaller privates like Grinnell. It is cloudier than most places, though, so that is a factor.

It gets dark and grey during the cold winters. If your kid is susceptible to seasonal affective disorder and/or not a fan of winter sports, Dartmouth may not be a good fit.
DC's freshman class had 3 suicides in 1 year, which is very high for such a small class.

Contemplate how weak a child would have to be to pass up an excellent undergraduate education because of the weather. As a society we’ve become absolutely pathetic.

Seasonal depression is a very real thing....

Agree. So many problems in California, but the weather is not one of them.
