<p>Which schools get a lot of rain?</p>
<p>Odd request, I know, but I do love rain. I'm looking at top 10 schools, and amount of annual rainfall could sway my decision a bit, but only a bit ;).</p>
<p>Well, I was read somewhere that it rains a lot at Lehigh University...it isn't top 10, but its a good school.</p>
<p>University of Washington? It's not top 10, but it is one of the best public schools in the country. </p>
<p>Also, try Northwestern and UChicago. The Chicago area gets an unusual amount of rain.</p>
<p>Lots of midwest schools have alot of rain, same with northwestern schools. Or any university in the Netherlands, it's absolutely pouring right now !!</p>
<p>ps. i hate rain</p>
<p>If you like LACs, perhaps Reed?</p>
<p>"Lots of midwest schools have alot of rain"</p>
<p>In Kansas City, MO, we don't get that much rain...it always seems to be in the forecast once a week or so, but it never actually seems to rain that much....</p>
<p>If you are looking at top 10 schools, most of them will be in the northeast with the exception of schools like Chicago, Stanford, and Duke. So of these locations, the most rain will be tied for Chicago and the entire northeast (so pretty much any Ivy).</p>
<p>There is a difference between rainy and having lots of rain. Seattle is rainy--lots of days with some light precip but total rain is not that high. But it's much gloomier than a place that get fewer heavy rains.</p>
<p>Seattle???</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>I don't believe it rains that much in Seattle. I'm pretty sure that is a common misconception. I hear it is often cloudy, though.</p>
<p>No, it rains many many days. Often just a light drizzle but it's wet. The common misconception is the inches of rain which is just around 34 inches at the airport which is less than many cities. BUT, that is over about 160 rainy days. Also many parts of the area get double that so if you live on the East Side you might get 50-60 inches.</p>
<p>University of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC, Canada)</p>
<p>It rains a lot in Vancouver. In fact, I need new rainboots because I wore mine out to the extent that they now leak. The campus is also gorgeous in rain or shine - golden leaves in fall and cherry blossoms in spring - so that helps.</p>
<p>the chicago area really does not rain that much
i mean its not an unusual amount of rainfall........</p>

<p>University of Washington...nuff said</p>
<p>Reed all the way.
P.S. Why do you like rain?</p>
<p>Case Western Reserve University in cleveland (lake erie)</p>
<p>lots of snow too</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't think the Chicago area really gets that much rain-- I'm from the northeast, and I would say the two schools are equivalent.</p>
<p>If you want snow, look at Cornell, URochester, Syracuse, SUNY Binghamton.</p>
<p>Chicago gets a lot in the spring and summer. When I lived there, we got massive rain showers and thunderstorms at least a few times a week. </p>
<p>Fall and winter are relatively drier, with what I would call a "dry snow".</p>
