Which colleges experience the least amount of sunlight?

Hey everyone, I've heard that some colleges are known for having very little sunlight – which doesn't work for me, since I enjoy sunny days for studying outdoors and such. Can anyone tell me which colleges are typically less sunny? It would help me in considering my choices.

Sure, here's a list of colleges that are known for having less sunny climates. While weather isn't typically the deciding factor for choosing a school, feeling comfortable in your environment does play a role in overall happiness and satisfaction, so it's good to consider.

1. University of Washington (Seattle, WA): Known for its cloudy and rainy weather, Seattle receives less sun than most U.S. cities, and UW is no exception.

2. University of Oregon (Eugene, OR) and Oregon State University (Corvallis, OR): Oregon has a reputation for lots of rain and cloudy days.

3. University of Alaska Fairbanks (Fairbanks, AK): Due to its extreme northern location, this campus experiences long, dark winters.

4. University of Rochester (Rochester, NY): Located in upstate New York, UR often deals with overcast and snowy conditions.

5. Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH): While Dartmouth has a beautiful campus, it also has long, cold winters.

6. Cornell University (Ithaca, NY): Ithaca is known for being "gorges" but also has a reputation for lots of cloudy days and long winters.

Keep in mind that a lot of colleges in the Pacific Northwest and New England experience less sunlight than you might be used to, especially during the winter months. However, this also often results in vibrant green landscapes and offers unique opportunities for those who enjoy indoor activities or winter sports.

While deciding on which colleges to apply to, don't forget also to consider other important factors such as academic programs, culture, resources, and financial aid. Balancing all these different aspects can help you find a college where you'll thrive.
