Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2223383, member: 93"] Well, yeah! My wife is from upstate New York and a good friend who has a place on Cayuga calls it "God's Country," and on a nice day you can see why. I just remembered that it was actually still February, not spring, when we were there last, but it was that freakishly warm streak we had and it was sunny and in the high 70s when we were there. To their credit, the IC tour guides went out of their way to tell all the prospective students that that [I]never [/I]happens, and that the campus is usually under 6' of snow for the entire month. We loved the area though--especially the fact that it is ground zero for the American craft cider renaissance, with tons of great cideries in the area. Back to the suicide thing, though, the reason I did my research is because my oldest daughter had initially refused to even look at the school because of that reputation for the area in general, even though she is going into communications and it's one of the top programs in the country. She ended up liking the school, got offered a generous merit scholarship, but she didn't love the area, so she chose to go elsewhere. Our middle daughter, however, really liked everything about it and it is at the top of her wish list. Now if she could only earn the same scholarship... [/QUOTE]
