<p>Probably the closest to Reed but slightly less intense (and not in Minnesota’s climate) would be midwestern LACs, Oberlin, Grinnell, and Kenyon. Oberlin and Kenyon are in Ohio, so the weather won’t be Minnesota-type weather. In fact, the weather in Ohio will be milder than Chicago’s. Grinnell is in Iowa and shares Minnesota’s southern border, so the weather might be a bit harsher than Ohio.</p>
