Housing
Listen, complain all you want about the campus living policies but last time I checked that was all clearly stated by the college on its website. Yes, it is hard to get exemptions to live off of campus but there are also LOTS of different places to live on campus. Don't like dorms? Try a friendship house. Low lottery number? There are always houses that follow the consensus process if you decide one of them fits your needs. Earlham is not for everyone but it seems irresponsible to grade the college poorly for things you could have known about before attending the school. Also, all campus living decisions are made by committees formed by students, staff and faculty. If you have a problem with the housing process DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Otherwise, why even bother to go to Earlham? Take advantage of the fact that you go to a school that values student input as highly as it does and try to effect change.

Lots of Snow
Lots of snow and cold but the fall and spring are beautiful. Earlham tries to be green in its de-icing methods which aren't always effective so paths are often slippery which is a hassle but also sweet in its adherence to campus values so it pretty much makes up for it. It's a small campus so you never have to walk very far.
