<p>I'm looking into colleges that are in cold/rainy environment. I know Washington is one but where else? I'm in Hawaii and I had enough of this sun... I'm also looking for good business school. Got any ideas guys?</p>
<p>Much thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Lol...I'm into coldness too, but rainy? Depressing...</p>
<p>Are you applying to grad school?</p>
<p>I like rain haha :]</p>
<p>No, I'm not looking for grad yet... gotta find a liberal arts one first. got any ideas?</p>
<p>We should be friends,</p>
<p>I like cold and rainy places, with constant overcast sky</p>
<p>Oregon would suit your needs. Older S loves cold, rain, overcast skies, and loves Portland.</p>
<p>Oregon or washington are kinda cold and rainy a lot. although nice places to live.
i love cold weather too. i get soooo sick of the summer time. by fall when it starts to snow and get chillly i am way way happier. i dnt think i could live in the south.
do you want snow? or just rain?
haha
causeif you want snow there are a lot of places in the northeast that have snowy cold winters.</p>
<p>Are you looking for an UG business program or liberal arts? </p>
<p>What kind of level of selectivity?</p>
<p>These are big schools with UG business programs and plenty of liberal arts classes to choose from: UDub in Seattle. UMichigan. Penn State. Indiana. Wisconsin-Madison. Ohio State. Illinois. Colorado-Boulder. </p>
<p>Not quite as large with UG businss major: UPenn. NYU. Carnegie Mellon. Cornell. WashU. Notre Dame. Boston College. Boston U. U Pittsburgh. Syracuse. UOregon.</p>
<p>UW Madison is pretty opposite to Hawaii.</p>

<p>5-10 are pretty cold places in late fall/winter/early spring.</p>
<p>Pittsburgh (Pitt, CMU) and upstate New York (Cornell, Syracuse) are among the areas of the country that get the least sunshine annually, according to NOAA. They're probably your best best for a combination of cold and gray (after Alaska).</p>
<p>But if you want rain, you need to go to the southeast. The 10 rainiest cities in the U.S. are all in the southeast, headed by Mobile, AL (67 inches annually), followed closely by Pensacola, FL (65 in.) and New Orleans (64 in.). With only about 40 inches annually, Seatlle and Portland aren't even close.</p>

<p>"No, I'm not looking for grad yet... gotta find a liberal arts one first. got any ideas?" To address your question, you might consider these schools in the PNW: Lewis & Clark, Willamette, University of Puget Sound, Seattle U, Pacific Lutheran University, Linfield College, University of Portland</p>
<p>How about Alaska? Parts of Alaska are in a rainforest.</p>
<p>Or there is always Ireland, but that may be a bit far from Hawaii.</p>
<p>I think Pittsburgh would be too sunny for you!</p>
<p>Marquette Mi now thats opposite Hawaii with 6 feet of snow and no sun during winters.</p>
<p>My friend who went to CMU told me that it was rarely sunny and constantly gloomy and rainy.</p>
<p>U of Wisconsin at Madison.</p>
<p>Ten Rainiest Cities in the US (# Days/year with rain)
1. Hilo, Hawaii 277
2. Quillayute, Washington 210
3. Astoria, Oregon 191
4. Elkins, West Virginia 171
5. Syracuse, New York 171
6. Buffalo, New York 169
7. Marquette, Michigan 168
8. Sault Ste Marie, Michigan 166
9. Erie, Pennsylvania 165
10. Binghamton, New York 162</p>
<p>5-10 are pretty cold places in late fall/winter/early spring.</p>
<p>in regards to syracuse..never come here if you plan doing something outside of syracuse university..because there isnt anything else to do</p>
<p>The Pittsburgh area gets rather rainy/cloudy/snowy during the fall, winter, and spring, but summers are sunny and warm. </p>
<p>Glad to see there are other people that like the rain!</p>
<p>Madison is by no means a "rainy" city. It has a typical midwestern climate with beautiful summers and cold winters. There can be some soggy, rainy days in the spring and fall, but in the summer it's just occasional thunderstorms.</p>
<p>"How about Alaska? Parts of Alaska are in a rainforest."</p>
<p>The parts of Alaska that are in a rain forest are sadly lacking in universities, as is Quillayute, WA.</p>
<p>Definitely Eugene, Portland or Seattle or Western Washington University in Bellingham. At Western, you'd qualify for Western Undergraduate Exchange, which would put your tuition costs at 150% of in-state.</p>
<p>Go to Cornell. It's a great school located between Buffalo, Syracuse, and Binghamton, cities that rank among the rainiest and least sunny in the nation. And surely upstate New York meets the "cold" criterion.</p>
