<p>I have always loved cold weather and was wondering what are good colleges in cold weather areas? I know the ivies are in decently cold weather, but other than the ivies, what are other colleges in cold weather areas?</p>

<p>Stats?
Mostly anything in North East </p>

<p>Or in Minn or Mich.</p>

<p>When you come right down to it, it’s far easier to find a Top 10 or 25 or 100 National or LAC in cold areas than it is in warm areas. It’s the kids who insist on a warm weather top school that have a tough time.</p>

<p>If we define cold as you will probably see snow at least once on campus each year and it will stay around for awhile, the US News Top 10 looks like this:</p>

<p>National Universities

  1. Cold
  2. Cold
  3. Cold
  4. Cold
  5. Warm
  6. Cold
  7. Cold
  8. Cold But Then It Melts Quickly
  9. Cold
  10. Warm</p>

<p>LACs

  1. Cold
  2. Cold
  3. Cold
  4. Cold
  5. Colder
  6. Warm
  7. Even Colder
  8. Freakin’ Cold
  9. Warm
  10. Cold</p>

<p>If we went into the 10-20 range on LACs, we would have several more Freakin’ Cold campuses. Not sure who would win the Brass Monkey award.</p>
