Cornell is by far the best choice for psychology, and it is an awesome school for many other reasons. I would like to offer a dissenting opinion about the winter season. The change of seasons in the northeast is beautiful. Winter is a gorgeous season and I would rather have a cold winter than an oppressively hot summer. A fresh snow in the finger lakes region of New York is a gorgeous thing to behold. If it were not for winter there would be no fall foliage color. The arrival of spring flowers is beautiful too. Things turn from brown to green over the course of a week or so. Students like to complain about the snow and it does have inconveniences but I happen to love the change of seasons.

Buy some Goretex boots and a goose down jacket. If you are going to have a car at Cornell, it would help to have four wheel drive to get up the hills.
