<p>I used to wear those Chinese Maryjane type cloth shoes all winter long. You could feel the cold right through those things, but I didn’t do alot of standing around, it never bothered me that much. I miss them. You used to be able to buy them everywhere, but now I only see them in Chinatown.</p>
<p>I don’t consider winter too bad a time to visit, it really does let you see how well the public indoor spaces for the students work. We liked the student union building at Vassar. Very few kids sitting alone. Decent snack type food (including some healthy choices), bookstore in the same building.</p>
