<p>Weather is more than temperature. It includes depressingly cloudy days or cold sunshine in winter. You can cope with winter- and it may an experience at a good time of your life. College students know how to have fun with snow and there are many activities to try. Seattle is not that warm in winter and even can get snow. Global warming is evident in Wisconsin weather so winters may not be as harsh as in the past. The summer son spent in Seattle it was above 100 degrees- F many days- the only air conditioning was in the computer science building, not even in most academic buildings. You will have different US experiences at each school but both will be great. Both are the kinds of campuses you will live on or near and spend most of your time at, so transportation is not a major issue.</p>
