uhm...lets see - we're talking about snow...measured in feet - not even inches.

also, while i AM on an island - which means cold winters and hot summers, it's still about 32 degrees farenheit...but its like 10 degrees farenheit up there.

BRRRRR...i also happen to be canadian...but i was only born there so i dont think it gave me much of a gene against harsh winters haha.

but then...i dont even own a coat. havent in the like last 6 years. hmm...maybe i'm not going to die after all.

bleh, forget weather - i just don't like being in the middle of nowhere.

chino hills by la actually gets pretty cold at night too, but nothing like ithaca at all.

think of it this way though - if global warming continues, ithaca's gonna be the next vacation spot. heh

ehhh sorrrry!
:S


however, are there any strong summer programs on the west coast?
cornell, cmu, etc. are a little out of my price range...
but i would definitely consider any california programs!

I know that USC offers a summer pre-arch program, but haven't heard much about it. Though I don't think high school seniors can apply to this (I could be wrong), I'd definitely recommend harvard's CDisco program.

so_ein, I think Harvard's program is more geared towards students already in college and considering going for an M.Arch. The statistic is somewhere - it's a very small percentage of high school seniors (you have to have graduated HS already to go to it).

As for west coast programs, I think you'd be the best off at USC. Unless SCI-ARC has a program for high schoolers (I know they have one for current college students). Maybe CalArts has one too, I'm not sure.

Doesn't Cal Poly SLO have a summer pre-arch program as well? And i'm pretty sure that Sciarc only has the summer program for undergrads and grads
