[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] I never realized that State College was in the tropics.  [/quote]

Compered to Wisconsin, minus 47 degrees, without wind chill factored into your equation seems like the tropics[/quote]

When my daughter and I were doing rounds of all the schools she was accepted to, we were at Pitt when it was pretty cold; 20 degrees or so.  The next school on the list was Wisconsin, and she checked the temperature (-18) and scratched it off the list.  I tried to talk her out of it, but she didn’t even want to visit anymore.[/quote]

Madison is colder, but State College is pretty cold too--and very snowy from the mountains--it's like upstate NY in that regard.  State College is considerably colder than Pittsburgh too--and more isolated.  Getting around and out of State College in the winter can be treacherous.  It was one of the "cons" for my kid who considered Penn State and Pitt--and decided to apply to Pitt instead.  State College is gorgeous in late spring and early fall, but I would encourage a kid who is seriously considering it to visit sometime in the winter (which can extend well through March) to be sure.[/quote]
