I absolutely love the snow and am seriously considering going to school somewhere that snows a lot! Does anyone know which colleges get the most snow each year? I would really love going to a school where I could enjoy snowy winters on campus!
If you're in love with the snow and want to experience it during your college life, there are definitely some schools you might consider.
Northern Michigan University, located in Marquette, Michigan, typically gets a lot of snow. The university in fact ranks as one of the snowiest college campuses in America!
State University of New York at Oswego, or SUNY Oswego, also encounters heavy snowfalls each year. The university is located near the shores of Lake Ontario and often gets lake-effect snow.
University of Alaska Fairbanks is another. It averages about 65 inches of snow every year.
The University of Utah in Salt Lake City is a goldmine for ski and snowboard enthusiasts, surrounded by world-class ski resorts. The city receives around 60 inches of snow annually.
Maine's Colby College and Bates College also receive quite a bit of snow. They make good use of it with Winter Carnival and its "Puddle Jump" tradition.
Remember, attending a school with heavy snowfall also means needing to plan for cold weather and potentially difficult travel conditions. Snow can definitely provide a beautiful and fun environment, but it will also affect your day-to-day life. So keep these factors in mind when making your choice.
