[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CMU is definitely better. But it is not for everyone. And the gap is not gigantic. So if your child truly feels more comfortable at W&L, they should go to W&L. But if they are relatively indifferent, CMU.

Pittsburgh is a great place to go to college. Big city with sports, restaurants, major airport, etc. Which is great for some and bad for others. But those who are completely insulting it are idiots.[/quote]

Just because someone my not enjoy long cold winters with freezing temps, heavy snow and ice from approximately November to March does not make them an idiot.  Maybe just not their preference.[/quote]

You sound like a Virginian.

Snow of any note rarely occurs before Christmas break.

+1 Tell me you haven’t actually been to Pittsburgh without telling me you haven’t actually been to Pittsburgh. But W&L is apparently the “Bucknell of the South” in that it’s another “Pipeline to the Street” or something. [/quote]

I am from Pittsburgh…it’s cold and dreary for a good 5 months which is basically the school year.

I love the city but the cold, gray winters really suck.[/quote]

I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Pitt.  Regardless of weather statistics, it didn't seem like a really big difference from MoCo.  I like to ski, and I did ski during high school in the higher mountains an hour away from Pittsburgh (between Pittsburgh and Maryland).  I did not ski during college (no time). The peak season is basically mid-January to end of February.

I didn't need snow boots at college once.  Just waterproof footwear.

I lived in MoCo for 8 years total.  There certainly were snows, blizzards, and government shutdowns due to cold when I lived there.  Also the summers are even worse with humidity. I'm sure people realize there are a few ski resorts in Maryland also.

My opinion is that snow is only a problem if you have to drive in it.

If you don't like snow and weather affects your moods then it's worth thinking about.  Beyond that I think it's NBD.[/quote]
