<p>How come when people are looking for colleges a lot say its too cold, but nobody says its too hot? </p>
<p>I like the cold and snow...</p>
<p>To each his own</p>
<p>I agree with you. I live in Oregon. I think it would be weird to move to the South year-round.</p>
<p>Personally I like the heat - most people’s ideal temperature is, say, in the 70s. But I guess one rationale other than that is you spend the whole winter wherever you go to college, and almost none of the summer. You’re already getting the coldest the climate has to offer.</p>
<p>^That’s a good point. But I do have several friends who refuse to go farther South (though we’re in NC, which is already pretty darn hot) because of heat/humidity.</p>
<p>Oh my God, I love the cold: shorts + 3 fans in my room year-round. That’s why I’m staying in the Northeast for college.</p>

<p>Probably because most of the uncomfortably hot weather in most places happens in the middle of the summer when the kids are back home anyway. So the summer temperatures are less of an issue in choosing a school. But the coldest winter temperatures occur right in the middle of the school year prime time.</p>
<p>I went to the Univ of Wisconsin for college and one of the benefits of it for me was the climate. Cold weather means multiple seasons, hockey teams, sledding, frozen ponds and besides, it keeps the riff raff out.</p>
<p>Because you’re talking about young people here. If there is hot weather, there are more people outside, with tans, showing more skin, etc.</p>
<p>Do you want to see hot girls in puffy jackets and sweatpants or short shorts and tank tops?</p>
<p>How many places in this country can you attend school where they wear “short shorts and tank tops” consistantly in the middle of winter?</p>
