We live 20 minutes from Umich and both parents were very anti-umich until we visited. I brought both along with me to Campus Day and voila! I am writing to you from my dorm at Michigan. So i second the idea of a second visit-- but don’t bring her in Winter. Which means, oh, from about October to April?

I don’t think the winter is depressing, but I grew up here. I have heard a lot of people from warmer climates say it’s hard to watch everything die every year. I’ve never seen it that way, the world is just sleeping-- it’s peaceful, and the snow is pretty. Especially when you don’t have to drive in it. It is cold, but you learn to dress for the weather. I have been sweating my *** off all winter this year because I crocheted a wool scarf and bought thermal underwear. The winter isn’t difficult to cope with if you know what you’re doing, and you catch on quick once you move here, I gather. It’s the heat in the summer I can’t stand!
