Always nice to hear from someone from the Great State of Cleveland. There were a lot of Northern Ohio types at Ohio University when I was there.
Some of us like snow.
I wanted to quickly point out that as the parent of a college student and a college graduate, I think that the opportunity to get away from home and some of your parent's and high school friends influence can be very valuable. A lot of my high school friends lived at home through all or most of their college careers at Ohio State, and I think that stymied their personal growth to some extent. Many of them ended up getting apartments in the campus area (literally 10 miles from home) in their later years of school.
So, whenever possible, I heartily endorse "getting away" from home -- even if it's only a hour or two. I think you learn a lot more about life that way.
For what it's worth.
