[quote=Anonymous]To each his own. I am from very Northern Illinois. Went to arguably the best ACC academic school on athletic scholarship. I didn’t care for the hot weather at the start of school and during the last two months. The cold never bothered me and no doubt there was a helpful toughness factor training in the cold. It helped in national competitions, too. Forced you to peak at the right time. Although I was a poor kid, my public high school of 2300 - the smallest in our athletic conference - had an average ACT of 28. Not a magnet either. There were advantages to the north. By the way - I turned down Michigan - not for the weather. All though a national level performer deep down (not a good thing) was not willing to make the deep athletic commitment. I did not have parents in my life and yet knew there was no better place for incredible athletics and academics. [/quote]
