It's a tough call. I would suggest you try to gather more information about the quality of the two programs. Sine you pursue your study, I would say the final choice depends on how much you can get out of your learning experience in a program so that you can find a good job in the future. As for the weather, I am in MN. The snowing winter time can last almost six months, but I am used to it now. I love my program because it gives me a lot of opportunities to enhance myself. Good luck with your choice. As long as you think it is worth it, at least you can say " I have no regrets"
