short is just a matter of perception
It was interesting speaking to the cleaning lady yesterday about the weather here in Lancaster. She said it rains almost all the time. When I said that I liked the cold, but not the wet, she remarked “Then why did you come here?”. It’s not the first time I’ve heard of the weather being an issue with students.
It’s interesting to note how weather and climate seems to factor in for students here when choosing which University to go to. I’ve also heard it when talking to some of my American friends (not Indians going to America). I’m sure I speak for all Indians that when we consider just the University, we only take into account its reputation/rank during the decision making process. We take it for granted that we’ll “get used to” everything else, and skipping on a good University just because we don’t like the weather is probably the highest level of idiocy you can show as an Indian. Doesn’t seem to be the case here.
