[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like a lot of weather related complaints on here.    My sense is that outdoorsy types that enjoy the change of seasons and in particular, enjoy winter and snow are the ones that should be targeting these northern schools.

Fair weather lovers would be advised to avoid them.[/quote]

Nobody “enjoys” brutally cold weather and grey skies of flyover country. That ‘change of seasons’ nonsense is a cope. People enjoy the cold Rockies because it’s still sunny and beautiful and of course skiing. Ann Arbor, Chicago, South Bend, Madison are just miserable half the school year.[/quote]

That is just not true.   The constant rotation of seasons is very important to me and a lot of others.  I have visited places that always have warm weather and I live to visit but I would not want to live there.  For people used to seasons it is disconcerting and alienating to not have the passage of time related  to change.[/quote]

Both can be true. I love the DC area because we get change of seasons but very little of the brutally cold weather! [/quote]

Great.  A DC area college might be a terrific fit for you if that is a consideration.

I just react to so many people out off by the weather conditions of these schools and that is strange to me.  By 18, I think kids have a clue if they hate snow or cold or clouds or whatever and if so...why the heck did they apply and choose to attend a school in Michigan of all places?  Seems like a very easily avoidable issue.[/quote]
