I voted Brown b/c I went there. Columbia b/c it is convenient for you to get home, a great school and the best city in the world. I voted U Texas- Austin, b/c of Melinda.

How about Princeton/Harvard/MIT? Any of these doable?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am definitely applying to them along with Chicago, Berkeley, Yale, Stanford.

If you think ">" stands for "far away," then I can see why you thought this equation is correct.

I do not count "snowshoeing" and listening to your favorite local granola grunge band at the local coffeehouse as legit activities. Cornell is a good school and a beautiful campus, but just the weather alone (which was listed as OP's first preference) and isolation disqualifies them from consideration.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. Based on the considerations of OP, I would stay far away from Cornell and U of R.

People only go to Cornell because they either don't know any better, they're a dirty hippie, or it's far and away the best school they got into.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is retarded. I went to Cornell and loved it.

i just meant you could travel from ithaca to england with only one stop in between, ie, nyc. definitely not meant to imply length of trip or any kind of value judgment.

What are you going to major in? PhD Econ

Does snow = good weather? Sun > Snow > Rain

Do you want a big city or a smaller college town in the middle of nowhere? Don't mind small town, want it to be within 50 miles of a big city preferably

How old are you? Do you need to hang with people over the age of 25?

[/ QUOTE ] I am 22. Most of my friends are 25+

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the problem with most of your choices is that they are in the middle of nowhere (relatively speaking) - and would fail the 90 minutes to somewhere interesting requirement. True there are busses, but these schedules are very limited and aren't entirely safe.

I'm originally from Wisconsin and can honestly say that you freeze your arse off in Chicago/Ann Arbor/Madison.

Why not MIT or Harvard? You'll probably be happier in Boston or NYC and you'll have the added bonus of finding other Brits to hang with.

My 2 cents.
