I think (?) the OP may have meant his son does “not [care about/mind] cold weather.”
Based on this and another of your threads, I’d recommend consideration of Hamilton, Vassar, Wesleyan, Oberlin and Kenyon.
@merc81 you might be right about the weather.
In any case, @WELCOMETOCHINA , if you son doesn’t like hot weather, then cross Tulane and Emory off your list.
I would also say that while the Midwest has some excellent LACs (Oberlin, Kenyon mentioned above), the Northeast (in or near big cities like Boston) might be easier for a Chinese student to adapt to - like Tufts, Boston College, etc. Also, besides California there’s also U of Washington in Seattle - a very Asian-friendly city - might be easier than Michigan from that perspective.
You will NOT find any discrimination against Asian students at the vast majority of colleges and universities in America. However, if you are concerned about it you can add a few additional excellent schools to your list that have a large percentage of Asian students. UCLA, UC Berkeley, Rutgers (Group 1, big public), and University of Southern California and NYU (large Private schools).
So your son wants more mild weather? Then schools in California, Oregon, and Washington would fit the requirement if it’s important
Look idk if you guys haven’t been to college in like 50 years or haven’t been in college period, but at any academically-inclined school I will guarantee you that there is no significant discrimination against Asians (with the exception of extreme cases).
@appcal the concerns that Chinese typically have is not just regarding discrimination in the college itself, but in the social environment where the college is; and the concerns are not so much about discrimination as in rejection, but rather isolation or not being able to easily integrate
