<p>still undecided: My S had a guy from Southern California living next door on his frosh hall. He SoCal guy adjusted well and had no difficulty with the weather.</p>
<p>Your post makes me feel that you want to go Williams, your parents favor Duke, and your counselor and teachers favor the Texas In-State.</p>
<p>I don’t know how much importance you want to accord all these voters. Are your parents dead set against Williams? Is money a factor?</p>
<p>Neither of my kids chose the college I think I would have chosen, but they each chose well for themselves.</p>
<p>If weather is all that is stopping you, I do know of warm weather kids who have adjusted well. If you don’t think you’d enjoy cold weather, that’s another story.</p>
<p>And then again, there maybe other intangible factors keeping you from Williams. I say it that way because it sounds to me as if you want to go.</p>
<p>Good luck in making your choice.</p>
