[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DMV types are pathetic.    My memories of winter at Dartmouth are some of the best and most distinctive of my college career.   Beautiful snow-covered campus, well heated classrooms and dorms, immediately plowed sidewalks and paths, the same walkable community.   And a short van ride to the Dartmouth skiway after classes end.   if you don't have to drive to work, or change in and out of work shoes, or shovel your driveway -- or show off your limbs or cleavage -- crisp winter weather is fantastic.  But go ahead, direct your kids to "up and coming" schools in the South.  One suspects Northern schools are probably better off without kids whose choice of college is swayed by cold weather.

I had a very similar experience to you at Andover and think you sound super haughty and arrogant. Let people choose what they want and stop being so judgey.[/quote]

Thank you. Pp is a jerk. I was an international student on almost full financial aid who landed at a college in Massachusetts with no warm clothes and very little money. I had a campus job to have some spending money. I had never even seen snow before in my life.
I hated the long cold winters. I did not know about buying clothes from Patagonia and Northface but neither could I afford them.
Winter wear is expensive and a lot of Americans probably have a hard time affording the appropriate wear
