Which state schools do not charge an OOS rate? And will also give merit?

Sure, but warmer than any N. Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin

I have not been to N Dakota, but lived 5 years in Minnesota (cold), 10 years in Wisconsin (better, but still cold) and skied those 10 years in the UP. COLD. As @prezbucky said, some days are just beyond cold. One year there was 275" of snow. Do you know how long it takes for 275 inches of snow to melt (when it is mostly below zero)? Think July. They have stop signs at the regular height, but that year extended them all another 5-6 feet higher (so two signs on the same really high pole) because the snowbanks covered the lower signs. It was like driving through ditches.

I love the UP, I really do (pasties!), but it is cold. The good news is that most of the towns are designed for that - the schools, the businesses, the parking lots (with plugs for block heaters). I’m sure Lake Superior State is well designed (may even have tunnels to cross from classroom buildings) and has plenty of activities to keep people busy.
