Weather...Too Cold? Location...Too Remote?

You’re not mistaken. I am from a small town in New England and after college moved out to California, and so I would say that a student from coastal California might be in for a shock, if you wound up there. I took my son up there in February just after a snow storm and it is quite remote, snows a lot and is bitter cold. Hamilton is an outstanding college and we found the campus to be friendly, very quiet, and quite beautiful. If you love being in nature and do not need to be anywhere near a big city, the isolation will not be a problem. Otherwise, it may not be a good choice.
