<p>That’s sweet of you. I think it’s good for her. It’s her BF’s hometown and she wanted him to move to NY which terrified him, but I think he would have. However, they couldn’t make the money work.</p>
<p>He got offered a wonderful, one year fellowship with the CDC, and I’m glad to see she can compromise for him. But here’s a girl who lived in London for six months and missed the urban environment of NY!! She complained that she couldn’t do her shopping at 2 am in London, so I am thinking she might have a “New York or nothing” mentality.</p>
<p>Flexibility is a key character trait so I am keeping fingers crossed. I haven’t seen her since she’s “emigrated.”</p>

sorry I guess i was reading in swahili!
I would imagine Chicago kids would be pretty weather impervious…cold/wind/snow/ice resilient…maybe heat and humidity would knock them right out!
The only downsides I can see to winter weather campus visits would be the “hanging out on the quad” type views you might be missing and like I mentioned before, the actual logisitcs of weather interfering with flights,driving schedules and the like.</p>
<p>Oh, is that possible?!
“The man who is tired of London is tired of life” must not apply to American college women. Goes to show how quirky people are, what we like and don’t like.</p>
<p>Please note that both Tufts and Brandeis are on hills. In winter, Brandeis trays used to disappear from the cafeteria and could be seen again carrying students down hills.</p>
<p>Sorry Hawkette, but compared to a New England February, mid-50’s IS balmy! That’s when we break out the T-shirts around here, but it doesn’t get to those temperatures 'til April. And, yes, July in DC is uninhabitable–that’s why I’m a <em>happy</em> New England transplant! :)</p>
