I live in Rochester and am willling to help you out re.locations if you want to send a PM- what major, what size school, public or private. etc? There are many, many smaller and quite lovely schools in the Finger Lakes area, where the climate is not quite as extreme as in the North Country (which would include Clarkson, Potsdam, St.Lawrence,etc). Hobart and William Smith is in Geneva, NY, a very pretty place and Keuka College in right on Keuka Lake. Wells, as mentioned, is in the area and they have a very nice Honors/Leadership program with some great scholarship money (my D was awarded a terrific amount from them at the Awards Night as a junior, but couldn’t consider the school since it didn’t have her major).
If considering a SUNY school, you might want to read up on SUNY Geneseo, one of the top-rated public colleges in the country according to many of the college guides and always listed as a " Best Buy"- many kids from the NYC area attend. since they recruit heavily downstate If you want to talk, let me know!
