[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does anyone want to go to a state school like Michigan where it is freezing.? The UM boosters here should get paid (if they are not already).[/quote]

For the life of me, I don't get posters who go on and on about how the cold IS a big deal.  I went to college in Chicago and grad school in Cleveland and I wasn't from a cold hometown.  I don't remember the weather having any real impact on my quality of life. sure, it was cold for a chunk of the year--we got heavy coats and didn't hang out on sidewalks for long. but how much time do you really spend outdoors in college? Your mileage may vary but I did not find it to have any impact on my life. [/quote]

I went to UVA and the relatively nice weather had a HUGE impact on my life!  Hiking in the spring, studying outside, many games of frisbee/tag football, outdoor concerts, not to mention the outdoor parties and Foxfield.  I DID spend a lot of time outdoors in college, and I would want the same for my kids.  But I don't ski and hate the cold with the fury of a thousand suns, so this is a big part of quality of life for me.  Glad you found a good match for you if the cold isn't a big deal to you, but it certainly is for other people![/quote]
