<p>Interesting.</p>
<p>I like Toronto. I want to go somewhere else for college just because I feel that staying home when you start college seriously defeats the purpose of college. Going to university is basically about starting your life, and you can’t really do that in your parents’ basement. But otherwise, I really like Toronto.</p>
<p>I like Chicago. It gets a brutally cold in the winter, but besides that, it’s a pretty nice place to live.</p>
<p>Edit: I agree with Yak, I want out for college. California, preferably.</p>
<p>Yeah, Mike, I agree with you about the cold winters. That’s the one thing I really don’t like about Toronto, but even that’s bearable.</p>
<p>The Chicago winters are fairly brutal, but since I live in northern Ohio, I don’t think I’ll have much of a problem adjusting. I would love to go to Europe, or even California for college, but my parents don’t even want me going to Massachusetts. So that’s out. Chicago is a good compromise. While it’s not very far away (2.5 hours by train), a city of 2 million people is going to be different than a town of 500, which is what I have now.</p>
<p>There are certainly advantages to living in the middle of nowhere, but it’s good to have some stimulation once in a while.</p>
<p>500? Holy ■■■■. My graduating class is bigger than your town. </p>
<p>Andy Murray. Bleh.</p>
<p>In Tennessee we have snow days when they forecast flurries.</p>
<p>My graduating class is about to be cut in half.</p>
<p>Quiet, you. It takes a certified blizzard to close my school.</p>
<p>My graduating class has like 70 people in it. Because my school is tiny.</p>
<p>That’s not fair. We don’t even get snow days if there’s a meter and a half of snow on the ground.</p>
<p>My school closes fairly easily. We have about 5 or 6 snow days every year. But the plows aren’t quite as efficient out in the middle of nowhere. There are plenty of roads that are never plowed, but the buses still have to go down them anyway. So 3" of snow will usually delay school for two hours, and 6" will cancel it for the day.</p>
<p>My graduating class started at 650, now it’s down to about 580. That’s public school for ya.</p>
<p>Meter. Hah.</p>
<p>I’m going to freeze in the north.</p>
<p>6" will cancel school for the day? 6"? 6 inches?</p>
<p>I’ve never seen 6 inches of snow here.</p>
<p>That’s pathetic(@JB’s school closing). Here, the snow has to come between 4am and 6am so the plows don’t have time to clear it, and it has to be at least 8-10 inches.</p>
<p>I will need to bring lots of my festive sweaters to the north.</p>
<p>Yes, six inches. That’s…15 cm. But don’t get your panties in a bundle. The schools in Toledo most certainly don’t close for six inches, especially if it doesn’t happen in the early morning. And the colleges don’t really close for anything. I’m not really sure why the schools in my area close so much. I have cousins in Denver that get one snow day every two years. And I would imagine it snows quite often in Denver. I can understand why school would be canceled if there is no power, and that’s happened before. I’m not sure if all states do this, but in Ohio, there are these things called “snow emergencies.” There are three levels of them. If it snows enough (about 10", 25 cm), they’ll issue a “Level 3 Snow Emergency,” which is where no one is allowed to drive except emergency personnel. They give people tickets for being on the roads. We can’t really have school then, either.</p>
<p>Travelling looks better than traveling.</p>
<p>Yes, it does. I make that mistake all the time. Thank goodness for Firefox’s spell checker.</p>
<p>See, Mike? I totally am British.</p>
