<p>what are you people doing, parasailing? Weather is the most ridiculous thing to base your future on. You get used to weather in two weeks tops, you hate a University you picked because of weather for four years. Do you seriously ever hear of people transferring out of a school like Cornell because it is cold after one year? Sure, it might not be fun, but once you are there you get used to it and deal.</p>
<p>^uh. i strongly disagree. i've moved around and i've experienced multiple "climates." you don't just get USED to it. it's a big part of your surroundings, and if you dislike your surroundings, you're not going to be happy where you are.</p>
<p>Agree with forizzlegdl. I cannot tolerate the cold....period. My brother went to college in New England and I hated every minute of visiting him. I opted for schools in much warmer climates.</p>
<p>Off-topic: I love the OP's username. I know what 'Carpe Aeternum' means. :)</p>
<p>I'm applying to East Coast colleges because I need to experience different weather...even if i'm freezing to death..abd also to Duke, which apparently is so humid that you can experience the four seasons.</p>
<p>Weather should be considered; however, it shouldn't be one of the MOST important factors. Just make sure that you can get used to the weather and that you know how to deal with it ahead of time. I know I'll need to get used to those high speed winds in Chicago, but at least I was able to experience it when I visited. It actually wasn't too bad =]</p>
<p>I'm afraid that the wind will lift me up. lol.</p>
<p>i think santa ana wind is stronger. :p</p>
<p>Anywhere is pretty much okay as long as it's not really hUMID (hence why I didn't apply to like UNC or anything)</p>
<p>if at all possible I am getting out of the south, it's way too hot. Wherever has the most snow sounds good to me.</p>
<p>I live in the midwest and can't see myself living somewhere hot. I can't breathe and I sweat, I don't come out during the summer. So for me to apply South is applying to perpetual heat. You can only take so much off but you can always add another layer.</p>
<p>I applied to upper westcoast, midwest and east coast.</p>
<p>I've lived near Chicago my whole life, so I don't want to go to a place where there would barely be any snow or it's almost always hot. I'm only going to apply to schools in the Midwest or the East Coast.</p>
