<p>I would encourage you to think seriously before attending Ithaca if you’re concerned about bad weather. Of course, there are days (at the very beginning and end of the year) that are absolutely GORGEOUS and really highlight Ithaca’s natural beauty. But, for the rest of the school year, it’s pretty grey. If you are one of those people who easily become depressed after days of grey, stormy weather, Ithaca might not be so fantastic for you. I didn’t really realize how much precipitation we get from the lake-effect, but luckily I’m not the type of person that is so sensitive to the weather outside.</p>
