<p>Is it true that the skies are grey for most of the year? I’ve heard of the seasonal depression that goes around because of it. To what extent does it affect the students? I’m from Florida, so I’m really used to the sun all year round, although I’m looking forward to the cold weather :D</p>
<p>[Getting</a> SAD is More Than Having the Blues - URMC Press Room](<a href=“http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/pr/news/story.cfm?id=1353]Getting”>http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/pr/news/story.cfm?id=1353) might be useful. </p>
<p>“While many people believe that Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) amounts to feeling gloomy in the winter, a University of Rochester research review emphasizes that SAD is actually a subtype of major depression and should be treated as such.”</p>
<p>Personally, I have not been affected by all the “gloom and doom” predictions. But that might be because I grew up in a climate similar to Rochester’s.</p>
