[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither DH nor I went to college in New England or other brutally cold parts of the country. As DS begins his college search the long, cold winters in some of these places make me nervous. What is it like, really? Are more students at these schools depressed (staying inside more)?[/quote]

I'm from Southern California and went to law school in New England.  I was woefully unprepared, but your kid will be with: 
llbean.com
landsend.com

ah and there's one more; I'm sure it will be on someone's reply.

Know that shoes can be waterproof!  I had no idea and had wet socks for months before figuring this out.

Know that you can put on the most amazingly warm coat, but it's your head, neck hands and feet that need to be warm for you to feel warm.  You can actually get away with not such a huge coat if you learn this lesson.

And I'll go back and look at the replies but I'm sure "layers" has been mentioned.

I've got a fabulous alarm that has also changed my life (and my kids' lives, too!) It's called the Phillips Wake Up light.  Get your kid that.

Take Vitamin D3 drops to combat the lack of sunlight.

Lastly, I had trouble "getting" the NE until one day I looked at it as if I were in England.  Same language, different culture.  Once I realized that NE is a different culture than SoCal, I "understood" it a lot better and didn't feel so much like a misfit.

Your kid has a great opportunity and will benefit tremendously, OP.  Don't worry!  [/quote]
