As a fellow alum of RPI, I'd have to agree about pretty cold winter weather.
The summer can be hot and humid, though. I learned to love the cold there, and
in Boston. When I moved to the California coast, I thought I'd really miss the
cold weather.

I don't.

I spoke to an RPI student a few weeks ago, and the students now use only
Windows. The school issues a brand new Thinkpad with XP pro to every entering
freshman. Other platforms are all but banned. As far as I'm concerned, 'Tute
sucks.
