Prestigious Colleges with Cold Weather/Lots of Snow

<p>^ as the title says :P. Can anyone tell me a couple? I'm mostly looking into economics and the sciences. Are there any ivies with weather like that? What about top 25 schools?</p>

<p>cornell.......</p>

<p>Umich?......</p>

<p>Harvard just outside Boston.</p>

<p>Funny, your criteria is why I excluded such schools.</p>

<p>Penn State, but it depends on the year...Pennsylvania is screwy like that</p>

<p>How about all the Ivy League schools?</p>

<p>Dartmouth is where it's at.</p>

<p>Heh; yeah all the ivies are in the Northeastern part of the U.S. where it can get cold and snowy. Harvard (MA), Yale (NJ), Princeton (NJ), UPenn (Penn.), Cornell (NY), Columbia (NY), Dartmouth (NH), Brown (RI). Also, if your looking for really cold weather, there's the University of Chicago, which is famous for among other things its Economics program. Just in case you wanted some prestigious liberal arts colleges, many of the top ones are in the Northeast, ex) Amherst (MA), Williams (MA).</p>

<p>Yeah, I figured the ivies, but some of them have warm weather right (Anyone mind telling which ones? :P)?</p>

<p>It's weird, but I really don't like hot/humid/warm weather.</p>

<p>how cold is cold and how much snow is lots?</p>

<p>upenn and columbia would be the warmest of the ivies.</p>

<p>Just draw a line across the United States. Every college above that line is likely to have harsh winters. Lets make a preliminary states list. NE states, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and the Northwestern states. So for my list: UMich, Cornell, BC, BU, NOTRE DAME (me haha), Harvard, MichState, University of Chicago, U. Ill at Urbana Champaign and a whole host of others.</p>

<p>Bowdoin. Middlebury. Amherst. Williams. Something like that.</p>

<p>thanks guys, I think I've got a pretty good idea :).</p>

<p>wisconsin has a whole lotta snow and coldess. And prestige, lol.</p>

<p>^LOL</p>

<p>Prestige... yeah, ahem, right next to the red plaid flannel and overalls.</p>

<p>All the ivies are freezing...
Well at least for people from LA</p>

<p>carleton college in northfield, mn</p>

<p>It's really relative to what you like. Personally, I think any place south of about New York City is way too hot and humid to be livable (in the summer months), even if you're right on the beach. It gets sticky and disgusting. Of course, if you're rich you can take August off and go to your vacation home, but most people don't have that luxury.</p>

<p>Also, if you're along the Atlantic coast, winters are pretty mild actually, especially if you're somewhere south of Boston. The coldest areas in the winter are inland, e.g., schools like Dartmouth, Williams or Cornell. If you are at a school near the ocean, you will find there is a moderating influence on temperature, especially in the winter.</p>

<p>San Diego is an exception to the weather rule of course, with its constant 65-70 degree temperature, but I think it is an extremely overpriced area with no real culture or history, and way too much dependence on the automobile (which as we all know, is not a good thing with gas at $4.00 a gallon)</p>

<p>Nice.... I love cold weather also.</p>

<p>CHICAGO SUMMERS SUCK!!! They are humid to the top. So be adviced that University of Chicago does have cold winters and snow BUT it also has HOT HUMID summers although you do have the lake near so you can go there during the summer I suppose but I don't like that. I can't stand to be outside in the summer. I live almost inside of a cooled building all summer. Spring is nice around here most of the time but 3-4(June through Semptember) months suck. Sometimes June and September are decent but don't count on it.</p>

<p>Right about now we have 60-70s but in summer we can exceed 100+.</p>

<p>I guess McGill fits the criteria.</p>
