Everyone who attends a school in New England knows that they’re special. New England is gorgeous in every season, and I’m so happy I go to my college. I’ve learned a few tricks for spotting fellow New England college students and noticed some trends in our beloved school traditions. Here are the top 10 signs you attend a New England school.
And with good reason! New England is known for its natural beauty, be it the rich reds and golds of autumn leaves, the snow-dusted evergreens in the winter, bright flowers blooming in the spring after rains, or sunny days in the summer. Season changes are a big deal in New England, and talking about the weather and the Great Outdoors is a solid way to start a conversation.

There are so many people from Massachusetts, and they all explain their home base in terms of distance from Boston. You know this is a clear one of those signs you attend a New England school.
New England is used to the snow, and it knows how to deal with it. I’m in my junior year, and I might have had one class canceled because of the snow. Only one class. One teacher once said to my class before a snowstorm, “I have snowshoes and cross-country skis. I’ll be in class.”
Even more so if it’ll have several of those.
You know this is one of those clear signs you attend a New England school.
In conclusion, New England schools are awesome. I might be a bit biased, but I really love my school. New England is a wonderful area that I highly recommend, and if you notice any of the above, you just might have found it.
