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

Hi!

I am a student from California, where we (as everybody knows) get mostly warm weather for the majority of the year.

Hamilton, however, seems to be dead smack in a winter wonderland for most of the year. For those who attend school there (or who know the area), how cold does it get? How much does it snow? Could somebody like me handle it?

Any opinions on this matter would be great!

Also - Hamiltom has been criticized for being “too remote” by some reviews that I’ve read. As Jon Stewart joked during his visit to the school, “You know…I didn’t pass many things that I couldn’t milk on my way up here.” What do you guys think about this?

Other than those two issues (and correct me if I’m mistaken), it seems like everybody LOVES the school’s community, academics, and overall level of engagement!
