Po-Town

Do NOT go into Poughkeepsie. Only reason the grade isn't lower than a C is that it's relatively easy to catch a train out to the City.

Snow

It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but be prepared to not see the sun for most of the year. The campus is stunning, but the snow can be overwhelming.
