[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We toured both campuses and my kids loved both.   I'm not going to comment on school rankings because I think they are both great universities.

I do have a random question about winter weather.  I saw that just a couple years ago Wisconsin had a daytime high of -26 and Michigan set a record of -18 below zero.  Do kids actually go to class when it gets that cold?

I grew up in the South and can deal with heat.  That kind of cold would just crush me.  I'm sure the kids would be fine.  Just curious.[/quote]

Yes, the kids still go to class. Individual professors may cancel, but when I was at UMich, the school NEVER closed due to weather. [/quote]
My dd is at Wisconsin- "double Badger" with her bachelor's in '21 and now just finished up her master's. She was there for the 'polar vortex' (January 2019 IIRC). The university definitely cancelled classes for those few days. I believe DD said the cutoff is usually -35 with windchill for classes to be canceled. There were several snow-related closures during her time as well. [/quote]
