Logan11 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Our guy on the Upstate subforum who lives maybe 10 miles west of Roxbury only got 38 inches this winter I believe...and he gets upslope LES. Chances are that if a person has a bad experience, they are most likely to write a review about than someone who had a good experience. The only one that I know a lot about is SUNY Oswego, and they are your typical SUNY school(disorganized, but a decent education for your buck) Lyndon State I have herd many bad reviews about.

weatherwiz Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Who doesn't love a great party school? Partying (obviously) isn't something that should make or break your decision for a school but it is a huge part of college life and even high school...that's really how you learn and how you interact with many different people and it's a major part of the social aspect of your life. When I attended LSC I was complete asocial...I didn't party, I didn;t do anything. I only hung out with one person (who still to this day is a great friend of mine) and all we did was sit in the computer lab whenever we didn't have class. Actually...I hung out with a few other people but the social part of my life sucked...this is something I'm changing when I go to WCSU in the fall.

Snowlover76 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 He was online like 20 minutes ago...maybe he's just busy and can't post. Yeah I like all 3. Yeah...I met some great MET professors at Oswego though. And I think the met program is one of the best so I'm not to worried about that...more concerned about things to do since I'm not really one to party. Exactly why I'm probably not going to choose Lyndon. I am planning on going to SUNY Oswego in the fall, and I visited there a few weeks ago and I loved it, my cousin went there for teaching and she also loved it(except for the tons of snow).

He must be in Margrettville, they are usually a bit less than Roxbury. It has been a real crappy year, no snowmobiling at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 There was a big April storm about 10 days after the famous April Fools storm. On my phone but I think FMH gusted past 90mph in that. Elevated areas of NJ and NY got snow in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I loved that winter of 81-82 in the HV. 87 inches at my place starting with the great Dec. storm. Just a great consistently cold and snowy winter. -26F in January! We did have a January thaw, but it made a great ice skating pond when it all refroze. We had a boom box out there blasting those 80's classics at the ice pond.

Money is certainly huge...this is the reason why I am transferring to Western Conn. State instead of going back to LSC...for what I can do for 4-5 years at WCSU that would be the same as doing about 1.5 at LSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hey my alma mater ..U. Albany was named #1 party school in the country several times. LOL ..they have a met. program.

weatherMA Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hopefully. Cool, maybe see you there.

SUNY Oswego will only cost me around 20,000 but if I was to go out of state it would be 40,000 and that is something that i just cannot afford to do, it is insane how expensive it is to go to college.
