<p>Just want to say that if you’re not used to the cold weather, you may be freezing in October/November when the New Englanders think it’s perfectly pleasant outside. Bring some of your warm items with you at the start of the school year, including a hat. And be prepared to need long underwear in the winter even if your friends don’t. People who have lived in cold weather their whole lives have no idea what it’s like for southerners to experience real winter for the first time. Don’t be embarrassed to keep warm.</p>
