Funny you mention that. One of my other sons went to UM. He said he wanted warmer weather but took UM over UVA.  He liked UM sports and was a year behind the Fab Five.

My Syracuse son did his Phd and post doc at VTech.  If you want a place that doesn’t know how to handle a blizzard, we were visiting him when they got hit by a blizzard that also paralyzed DC. Blacksburg schools are in a county system. By day 2 post storm Blacksburg streets were pretty good. If they were on their own schools could’ve opened. But the county was so bad, schools were closed for 9 days.

We often flew there but that time had driven. On day 2 we headed home. Virginia did a great job with the roads. The normal 20-25 minute drive on I81 through WVA was, on the other hand, like a scene from Frozen. literally 100 yards into the state trucks down embankments, cars sliding over the road everywhere. We had to crawl. Crazy because they should be used to mountain snows. Maybe so poor they had to hire kids with shovels. As soon as we crossed in MD the roads were fine.

Syracuse does know how to handle snow.
