Looking for cold/rainy area...

<p>Berkeley. San Francisco. Rain all winter, cool (& foggy) summers. Wonderful fall and winter weather but never (well, RARELY) extreme.</p>

<p>Syracuse, New York. Definitely.</p>

<p>Also, as for the Western Undergraduate Exchange, the options are EXTREMELY limited. If I am not mistaken, U of Washington, Washington State U and U of Oregon haven't participated in the WUE recently. And, some schools restrict WUE status based on your intended major.</p>

<p>Washington State does participate, but I have no idea what, if any, restrictions they place on WUE eligibility based on intended major.</p>

<p>Western does participate as well, and as far as I can tell from their website, there are no restrictions. That doesn't mean that there aren't any, but none show up in a quick perusal of their website.</p>

<p>UW-Seattle, Seattle Univ., Seattle Pacific Univ., Univ. Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran Univ., Western Wash. Univ., U Portland, Portland State, Oregon, Oregon State, Willamette, Lewis and Clark College, Reed College. </p>

<p>Great flights direct from Honolulu to both Seattle and Portland. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>U of Oregon IS part of WUE. Oregon State is not. U of O does not accept transfers, though. Check out the Clark Honor College there.</p>

<p>Check out Chicago.</p>

<p>Let me say, living in the greater Seattle area, that only the University of Washington is a school with this climate. Washington, in all its glory, is incredibly diverse in its environment, which unfortunately makes schools like Whitman College and WSU dry and humid. However, though this cannot be explained through simple data, Seattle during the fall, winter, and spring is perfectly gray and rainy. During the summer temperature can reach the mid 80s, and sometimes the 90s, but this only happens during the middle of the summer (when a college student probably wouldn't be in the area.) The thing I love about the climate here is that there is almost uninterrupted weather. In the last year, summer really didn't show up until July. And by the looks of it, the summer is will most likely dim by October. Though I am unaware of UW's schedule, there is a great possibility one could attend the school with 90% of days without direct sun and hot temperatures. Don't trust me though; sometimes you never know what's going to happen in the Pacific Northwest!</p>

<p>Dry and humid are mutually exclusive, just so you know. Did you mean arid or hot (although arid is redundant)?</p>

<p>its not "cold" in Western Oregon/Washington. Its damp. Winter temps 40-50 F. Pittsburgh for S was much like W Ore but colder. Pittsburgh area would match your criteria.</p>

<p>I LOOOVE your headline because this is actually what I was looking for in a school haha! I'm from Florida so I too am SICK of hotness and sunshine...
But i'd say University of Washington and the like are good bets..</p>

<p>You're probably right...</p>

<p>cleveland :-D</p>

<p>There is no humidity in the Great Northwest.</p>

<p>Haha, to think that place I'm from is actually where I'm looking for! Great list, thanks!</p>

<p>I don't know if you would like Washington and Oregon. They're rainy but they don't get very cold (even in the winter, highs are in the 40s approaching 50). It rarely snows. It is hard to find a cold and rainy place, because rain tends to moderate the climate. You might have to choose one or the other. I suppose Juneau, Alaska would work because Juneau is known as a colder Seattle.</p>

<p>Maybe you just need a vacation to a cooler place.
The student I know from Hawaii who went to Emerson left after freshman year primarily because the cold weather was so hard to tolerate.</p>

<p>University of Michigan Ann Arbor</p>
