There are many schools in northern snowy cities that get high marks for student happiness.

Syracuse. Colgate. Michigan. The list goes on.


Go figure.

Global warming is worse than I thought. Snow delayed along the Great Lakes until November. Oh the humanity.

It will be gone by tomorrow

Too early for sticking snow

What's the panic, OP?

Are you the Wicked Witch of the West?

CA parent here - it was in the 90’s today 😂 but we’re used to a warm Thanksgiving here. Will “cool down” after that.

Best of all worlds is four seasons, and of course, summer doesn't really matter since students aren't in school then.

In terms of weather, going to college in California is WAY better than at an SEC school in that you have warmth and sunshine but without the unbearable humidity (or the consistent very high temperatues like in Arizona) . I went to a big Southern university and was miserable in the heat in August, September and then again in May -- was often drenched in sweat the first few home football games.


But the air quality sucks.

Better than being in a shthole state.


C’mon. Virginia isn’t that bad


It's not great. And it only gets worse the farther south you go.

The first snow is always nice, let the kids enjoy it.

When it’s the 24th snow after the 6 months November-April of gray skies and cold and dark, that is a different story.

Good school, but long winters. It snowed at my niece’s graduation at the big house 7-8 years ago.

My UM kid has been loving it. The snow started last night when they were all out. Everyone was so excited about it. While it continued for awhile, it didn't seem like there was more than a dusting. DC's Michigan-born roommate thinks it's no big deal, but a lot of kids from this area and south find it pretty cool.
