<p>I really want to apply to Pace in NYC and Saint Xavier University in Chicago but its SOOOO cold in those places.
I grew up in Miami. </p>
<p>Pace university is always calling me and trying to see if I'll apply and I'm interested in living in Chicago. </p>
<p>Does the weather of your schools location matter to you?</p>
<p>The worst I think I could handle is D.C.</p>
<p>Yes. That’s why I want to go to The U of Miami.</p>
<p>Haha, for me, I’m from California and in an area where there barely is any “weather” at all. So for college I really want to go somewhere with lots of weather - so basically it doesn’t matter to me.</p>
<p>Teen bodybuilder lol. I have friends who go there. It’s an awesome school. GOOD LUCK! : )</p>
<p>I hope I get in! I have a 1340/1600 SAT and a 4.1 gpa junior year (3.88 cumulative weighted) with decent ECs so I think I’m competitive. I am even considering ED.</p>
<p>If your stats aren’t up there for UMiami, you could always go to FIU and even transfer into Miami after 1-2 years. It isn’t any harder to get into than the schools you listed and you could stay in Miami.</p>
<p>I think it depends more on how much you want to do outside of class. I mean, does the weather really matter all that much when you’re sitting in a classroom?</p>
<p>Then again, I willingly moved to Seattle so my perspective may be a tad skewed.</p>
<p>Absolutely, yes. Almost all the schools I’m planning on applying to are south of the Mason-Dixon line. It’s just too cold here for me.</p>
<p>I am curious as to why you want to apply to St. Xavier. There is absolutely nothing but residential areas surrounding it. It has no decent standing whatsoever in the City. Heck, it’s barely even in the City. The vast majority of students commute from home. If you want a Catholic school in Chicago, at least look at Loyola or DePaul. both are much better than St. Xavier.</p>
<p>My major is communications science disorder and yeah I decided not to apply to saint Xavier. Thy barely have money to give.</p>
<p>Weather for me is the last thing I’m worried about. I’m from Minnesota, so we get cold winters (most others would say absolutely freezing) and hot summers (like right now; we should’ve had this weather a month and a half ago). Other than two schools (one in-state, one considered in-state) I’m applying to schools that are all technically south of me. A couple in the DC area (only real difference is they’re close to the coast), one in Tennessee and one in Georgia (so actually down south :)). Like I said, weather is my last concern, especially since I’m a super outdoorsy person, but I’d say it really comes down to whether you want to do lots of outdoor activities. Good luck!</p>
<p>Son is considering a school that is much colder and gets a lot of snow. It has given me pause as I think travel will be an issue.</p>
<p>Not that I should let the weather define my mood but weather does play a role in my decision a bit. You could be in some east coast school and be snowed in or bombarded with cold horrible weather. This isn’t the case at all in California. In California your always out and about with such good weather. I was born and raised here and I love the weather here. No snow and probably 300+ day of sunshine a year. That and California already has good schools to stick with. UCB/UCLA and Stanford. Oh and I want to working in the silicone valley. Go to school where you feel are going to work in the future. If that’s NY so be it. I just don’t like studying in gloomy rainy weather. I love California.</p>
<p>Excuse my typos and errors.^^</p>
<p>Weather almost caused my middle son not to apply to the school he’s currently attending. He’s REALLY glad he applied anyway as he has no regrets about going there. He calls it his “most important decision he almost never got to make.” The school has a 95% freshmen retention rate, so most seem to be happy there.</p>
<p>Susal: I graduated with a communicative disorders degree from San Diego State University. If you come here from OOS, it will cost you 
I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else but. . . . . . .
My dd graduated in May with a degree from SUNY Buffalo in Engineering, and she’s a born and raised San Diegan who wanted to see different weather and boy did she get it.
SUNY Buffalo has scholarships and has Communicative Sciences. Check them out.</p>
<p>Oh wow thanks you guys! I stay in South Florida and I grew up around warm weather all yer long.
I really can’t stand the cold. I can tolerate it though an I kinda like it at times.
You guys really made me think o how much is be paying if I went to Chicago or Cali. Is be paying a lot just to come back and visit family.</p>
