Who is considering weather in their college choice?

<p>Just wondering.....</p>

<p>Right now, probably anyone in the snowed in Mid-Atlantic region of US, or anyone sitting in an airport terminal waiting for flights to resume.</p>

<p>and you ask this today???..</p>

<p>I’m not! I don’t care for any type of weather… I love rain/snow/clouds but I hate the cold. I love warmth but I hate sunny weather. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>Honestly, whether it’s 10 or -10 degrees it’s cold and I’m not going to go outside, so it’s not that big a deal.</p>

<p>I know that my son considered cold/snowy climate schools for awhile, but then he realized that after spending his whole life in milder climates, he might have trouble dealing with snow/cold issues.</p>

<p>I do! except that it’s really really good college in area with suck weather.</p>

<p>I hope noone picks Vanderbilt thinking it doesn’t get cold in the winter! :)</p>

<p>I was somewhat the opposite from some on here- I wanted a place that got cold (and preferably had snow) in the winter (I just can’t do Christmas with palm trees and 70 degree weather. I don’t know why, I just have issues accepting it.), but had a good spring/fall. I generally didn’t like summer. I don’t know that I’d rule schools out based on weather though- that could make going home during breaks all that more interesting/a change of pace if they’re in considerably different climates.</p>

<p>Me! I really don’t go to school somewhere where it’s hot all-year-round. I really hate the hot weather.</p>

<p>Is anyone considering staying at home for college so that you can help your parents shovel in times like these? Haha!</p>

<p>I hope no one picks Vanderbilt thinking it doesn’t get cold in the winter!</p>

<p>Ha ha!!! My nephew is wearing flannel-lined pants and silk long undies while at Vandy.</p>

<p>Considering what I consider the similarities between my two options - Stanford and Washington University in St. Louis (assuming I’m accepted) - weather definitely came into play. So basically, Stanford won that battle. There are other considerations, but mostly it came down to that. So far, that’s the only notable difference between the schools.</p>

<p>I can’t lie, I am considering it But it’s not like I’m going to rule a school out because of weather. I live in the northeast though, and the past couple of months the southern schools have been looking better and better.</p>

<p>Yup, crossed out a lot of southern schools because I dont like the heat…</p>

<p>Neither of my S’s would consider going to a college with lots of cold snowy weather.</p>

<p>I lived for several years in the San francisco and Monterey areas of California, and learned not to go anywhere without a jacket, regardless of the season. Since then, I’ve run into a lot of people around the country who assume that life in California necessaily involves year-round pool parties and sunbathing. I wonder if any such people show up at Stanford or Berkeley with little more than shorts, sandals, and sun screen.</p>

<p>I’m def considering weather…</p>

<p>My college choices are Smith and Union in the NE
Alabama in the south
and Scripps out west…</p>

<p>this winter is making me reconsider NE</p>

<p>I hope no one picks Vanderbilt thinking it doesn’t get cold in the winter! </p>

<p>ha! My Vandy S calls it “bipolar weather” there. 30+ years ago I lived through the “blizzard of 78” in Boston and then transferred to Arizona…</p>

<p>I turned down Floridian colleges because I hate hot weather.</p>
