Greetings from scenic Poughkeepsie, New York, home of the mighty Hudson, confusing one-way streets, and a giant chrome diner where I will shortly be eating breakfast.
Over the course of this week I have done much standing around in cold and windy college quadrangles listening to the spiels of perky but blue-lipped young admissions employees. Though all of the campuses were frigid, I'd like to announce some special awards. Winner of "Slushiest Sidewalks" is Amherst College. Winner of "Longest Walk Uphill" is Bennington College. Winner of "Most Difficult Admissions Office to Find" is Bard College. Winner of "Tour Most Likely to Lead to Frostbite" is Vassar College.
Now we're off to Wesleyan. I wonder if it will be chilly there.

Need you ask?
Southern New England is shivering like the rest of us.
Take warm (at heart at least) and best of luck in this journey.
The chrome diner is still there?! We all went there after graduation from VC. (And the food was edible.)
Vassar is so beautiful in autumn and spring.
Keep warm. We, too, are suffering as Polar Vortex refuses to leave.
Yes, the chrome diner is still there! It's really quite remarkable, and the food is still more or less edible.
