<p>I agree with the comment above that Syracuse and nearby colleges are hurt by the weather. Moreover, we are seeing more extremes in weather (global climate change???). </p>
<p>I did not encourage my son to apply to any colleges in the snowbelt, because I thought it would be depressing. It is one thing to be affected by dreary weather in February, but is another when spring doesn’t come until May. </p>
<p>Syracuse has the most average snowfall of any metropolitan area in the northeast.</p>
