I received an offer yesterday. It's really a surprise for I hadn't heard anything from it before. I am conducting research in computational chemistry and appyling to the same subfield. I will probably join QC's lab.
I am wondering where do you know about information about the visitation weekends? The offer didn't mention it and I found nothing about specific open day for chemistry on the department website.
Besides, would the weather strongly influence life there? I was born in a warm city and have never stayed in any snowing place for a month. How long and how cold exactly is the winter there? Do students generally need to stay outdoor for a considerable time every day?
