<p>Cadbury, it really isn’t a big difference, but my son has mentioned the 5-10 degree difference more than once. He hates the cold and one day when he was picked up, it was about 75 there and 65 at home, and he went, “Geez it’s cold here”. (we are from CT) I think he made the right decision to avoid schools like Syracuse, etc. : )
Madison is a small town, but it’s safe and quiet and you can pick up food with their shuttle van now. Knowing he can leave by train to NYC or other places in N.Jersey helped his feeling of claustrophobia. When we were at Wheaton MA, he said half way through, Mom I can’t go here…it’s too small and I’ll only last a year. There was no easy way out and at Drew, just knowing he could, was enough. He didn’t use the train until the latter part of the year, but will more in the future.</p>
