Ibram, ultimately, you'll go where you feel comfortable. I have a sneaking suspicion that your constitution may well not be up to wintering in New England, since you've spent so much time in more temperate climes. Everybody being essentially the same as you, while initially comforting, gets really boring after a very short while. Nearly any campus (except say Grove City College or Liberty University) is going to give you a core of people that you'll end up hanging out with because of your similarities, but your differences are really what's important.
Funny story about Grove City ... my best liberal self-proclaimed extreme lefty friend went to college there.
Why? Not because they had the academic program he wanted.
Not because he wanted to go to a school with strong, conservative, Christian Values.
Not because he was an Atheist and wanted to shake up people with strong, conservative, Christian Values.
No, the reason he chose Grove City was ... at the time the school had the highest female to male student ratio in the entire country, and he knew that even with the emphasis on strong Christian Values he was going to get laid, and laid plentifully.
The plan worked.
He also ended up meeting his wife.
Who remains a Christian, while he is happily Atheist.
They have remained married for over thirty years.
