<p>I live in VT near UVM … yes, we definitely have snow in the Winter, but in Burlington the city keeps the sidewalks and roads clear, and the worst storm is better than the worst storm in northern Ohio (snow belt land) where I grew up. If you’re concerned about seasonal affective disorder (we do have clouds), I woudn’t worry too much as long as you get some natural sunlight (a 10-minute walk to class may be enough) or eat healthly so you get vitamin D in your body. My daughter is not going to UVM, even though she received merit money and likes their program because we live too close and she want to be further away (Boston). If we lived in NY, MA or CT, UVM would probably be a strong final contender, weather or not. Good luck w/ your choice …</p>
