[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Chicago and can attest that it absolutely has been a grey, dreary winter. Very little snow outside of one dramatic snowstorm.

But, I also think making college decisions based on the weather is ridiculous. [/quote]

Taking your mental health seriously is not ridiculous. The upper Midwest is a depressing sunless place, especially during the school year. [/quote]

A friend from high school dumped U of M for Arizona State. In December he was hanging out with a bunch of cheerleaders at the pool while the slugs in Michigan were stomping through 3 feet of snow. Poor guy was stuck in investment banking for 15 yrs because of his lightweight degree.[/quote]

Sounds like a classic finance bro. He will get divorced at least 3 times, and probably get picked up for insider trading. [/quote]

Sounds like a better life than being in the freezing rust belt going to maga rallies, surrounded by opioids, obesity and brain drain.[/quote]

I would be more concerned about the MAGA culture around any college, more so than the weather.  The weather improves, MAGA doesn't.[/quote]

That’s more of a Virginia thing….

Yes, wouldn’t MAGA be a bigger issue at the “warm, sunny” Southern schools? The Upper Midwest hater is making no sense. [/quote]

Not a lot of MAGA types in Ann Arbor or in most college towns. They tend to be liberal strongholds even if the state they are in runs red. So not sure what the midwest hater is babbling about. I think s/he has probably never been to any of the places s/he rants about.[/quote]
