<p>Yes, good point about Chicago - that's why the best weather is for the most part by the coast - the Atlantic Coast, that is. I'd say coastal New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island overall has the best weather in the country (with the exception I made above for San Diego).</p>
<p>Colgate</p>
<p>I felt like it snowed there a least little bit every day from Nov-March. I loved that aspect of it too.</p>
<p>RIT would be pretty cold, anything on that side of the lakes really.</p>
<p>CMU?</p>
<p>U of Rochester has underground tunnels so you can get to class despite the copious snow</p>
<p>Anyone who complains about hot, humid Chicago weather has never lived in Texas.</p>
<p>I love cold and snow as well! Basically all of the ivies will get there share of cold, but Penn will get the least snow. Summers suck everywhere. I live in NYC and can't stand our summers. The advantage this time of year though is that there are days where we can get a constant sea breeze. But once the water temps warm up it becomes discustingly humid.</p>
<p>What is more important to you? Cold or Snow. Any college in upstate NY or New England for the most part will do well in both. This was an odd Winter and many areas were snowless this winter. </p>
<p>Midwest schools do not get that much snow unless they are right off the great lakes</p>
<p>University of alaska.. prestigious i know not, but your secondary criterion is satisfied</p>
<p>Darthmouth and Middlebury are the only 2 schools in the country that own their own ski mountain (complete with lifts, lodges, and snowmaking equipment).</p>
<p>Wow Ive lived in NY all my life and have never thought that the weather I go through is the "best weather in the nation."</p>
<p>Bowdoin, Williams, Dartmouth, Cornell, Michigan, Harvard, Macalester, Carleton</p>
<p>St. Olaf!! </p>
<p>They get so much snow, it's crazy.</p>
<p>Duke</p>
<p>:) </p>
<p>yes it meets none of your standards but its awesome. Especially cuz i'm going there :)</p>
<p>None, unless you can speak French and consider Universit</p>
<p>Like people said before, Cornell. It snows half the time (you are up on a mountain) and your socks will always be wet (haha) And if your dorm is far away, you'll be doing a LOT of walkin... However, cornell offers snowboarding classes and ski classes if i'm not mistaken.</p>
<p>dartmouth....</p>
<p>Pretty near all of them except Rice, Stanford, Duke, and the UCs</p>
<p>Don't forget U. Wisconsin- Madison</p>
<p>University of Montana!</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>Not really...</p>
<p>Michigan isn't really <em>that</em> cold, and we hardly got any snow this year.</p>
<p>Um, Yale is Connecticut, NOT New Jersey.
I don't think any of the ivies or UMich can beat Mcgill for coldness.</p>
