Women in Miami and LA are much better looking than in cold places. YMMV.
And that's the best reason to choose a college - for the women![]()

Ditto, I don’t think people understand it’s not just a few weeks of colder weather than the DMV. I went to school in upstate NY too and while I loved it, it was always cold and snowy nearly the entire school year. I remember we had snow finals week one year. I went to visit in the summer once and was shocked that it actually got warm there! It could snow (and often did) anytime from October to April every year.
I, too, went to college in upstate NY. I was too busy studying and having fun to really pay that much attention to the weather. Over time, you get so used it that you don't even notice the cold.

Yes there are of course, but I just assumed Tech would be the one the PP was referring to.

I attended The University of Miami and I hated it.

My kid is currently obsessed with a school on Michigan’s UP. I am not against it, but we definitely need to get her much better winter gear.
My kid goes to school in MI and went to boarding school in MA. He said MI is another level of cold from New England, and basically never wears coats here in DC anymore. Today might be an exception though.
Agree both can be freezing, but Detroit is a different kind of cold.
Ok, but Detroit isn’t on the UP
