<p>I guess this thread boils down to: go with your personal preference based on atmosphere.</p>
<p>That of course means more than meteorology, but if you’re not swayed academcially, location’s got to do the trick.</p>
<p>Like thoughtprocess, I chose the school that I thought had academic programs that were awesome and more flexible. For me, that was Columbia over Duke, for him it was vice versa.</p>
<p>I prefer cold weather, he prefers warmer but strange weather.</p>
