That’s funny. I know so many people who are miserable in the heat/cedar season and many who have left to escape the heat. I’ll take US News with a grain of salt and go on having grown up a few towns away and living there for 18 years.
But I suppose it really depends on what the student is looking for. I know a lot of kids up north who can’t wait to get out of the cold, and I know Texas kids who have gone out of state in search of 4 seasons. Whatever they’re looking for is out there somewhere.
