Accepted to Princeton for REA (with good aid as well) but my mom thinks I'm jeopardizing my future if I don't still apply to Yale and Harvard

This thread is over a year old…but might give you some good tips.

I would suggest taking some layers with you…fleece, hoodies, etc. and then see what’s up and buy what you want. You won’t freeze in Princeton before Thanksgiving (usually).

Winter clothing needs

What do your college daughters (or sons) wear in snowy locales? My D is from California but will likely be attending colleges in a cold snowy place. She wants to fit in, obviously. Do girls actually wear boots like those from LL Bean and knee-length coats? (Yes, I do feel silly even having to ask.) Edit: As this has become a general discussion about winter clothes, “sons” has been added to the post.
