What is the weather in Massachusetts like compared to California?

Question

I live in San Diego, CA and I am thinking of going to Massachusetts for college. But, I know little about it besides the people seem nicer, more educated, and the way they dress is more conservative.and, I haven't picked a college yet there, I just don't know much about Massachusetts. So I like the people and environment that I hear about.

But, How big of a change is the weather? What is the environment and weather like in Massachusetts? Any recomendations for a good college there?

Answer 1

Weather is VERY different than SD. Much colder and varient in seasons.

Answer 2

Weather gets quite cold in Winter but the change of seasons can be attractive with the leaves changing colors.  The Boston area has over 50 degree-granting institutions, and Massachusetts is home to 65 public and private colleges and universities. Some of the well-known ones are Harvard, MIT, Holy Cross, Tufts, Boston College, Boston University, and the University of Massachusetts.  It truly is the college capital of the US.
