<p>i am from california, awesome weather and i want to apply to some out of states with good or atleast decent weather</p>
<p>i am talking about good, top ranked schools. any suggestions?</p>
<p>are there any other states with decent weather?</p>
<p>Define “decent”.</p>
<p>Top 30 schools with an average high above 45 in January (yes, I chose that arbitrarily):</p>
<p>CalTech, Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Emory, Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, and Rice…The states of California and North Carolina make up 8/11 of the group.</p>
<p>blue dog, I think OP meant out of state. </p>
<p>Sorry OP, but most of the US has “real” weather. That said, you may want to consider
Univ of Colorado (snow yes, but also over 300 days of sunshine) Colorado College, U of Texas, Austin (yes, hot/humid summer but mild otherwise) Rice U, Emery, Vanderbilt.
That’s for a start.</p>
<p>thank you, so i guess i should look south, or not leave cali
ahhaha</p>
