[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you claiming southern weather is better have clearly never lived in the south. It’s hot, humid, buggy and really nasty at least half the year.  Makes DC seem almost pleasant in comparison.  It’s also getting worse every year. And then you have the tornados and/or hurricanes if you are on coast or Gulf of Mexico. The weather really is awful. You may not get snow but most southern states get ice storms and those are way worse. I grew up down there.  Would never ever want to live there again.  [/quote]

The reality is that many of these students attend late August through early June at latest then go home or up the eastern sea board for internships. I used to live in NC Triangle and those were ideal months in comparison to northern states. Visited a # of schools from Virginia to Georgia over spring break last year and had forgotten just how lovely spring is down there.

Yeah, we had some ice storms, etc, when I lived there but it wasn't a daily phenomenon. So I can see why the balmy spring weather appeals to some students. At the end, neither of our DCs was interested in attending school in the south so never really wrestled with possible downsides. [/quote]
