I totally agree with the snow over ice anytime. That's a bummer with going to school all day like that. But, then I don't imagine they have Snow days to make up like your elementary and high schools do.

The ABA requires them to complete a certain number of hours of class per semester, which is why they have to make it up.

When I was at school at UK we didn't have to make anything up when the university closed for the ice storm. They just said get caught up to this point on the syallabus. I'd take that over having to attend class.

I lived in Galesburg for about 3 months and decided city life isn't for me. I've lived in a small town pretty much my hole life and even they seem to big for me.
I used to run around in Macomb years ago and in Rochelle area so I kind of know the drive you make. Can't say I envy you on that one.
