1. Weather data comes from NOAA'S 1981-2010 Climate Normals data files at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, using the closest weather station to each college, as determined by distance calculations using the latitude and longitude of the weather station and of the college, as listed in the IPEDS directory (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds).
   
2. Information on majors and programs of study is from the Completions Data File, 2011-12 (Provisional release) as reported by the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds). Top majors are the ones that have the most conferred degrees. If it says "is in" rather than just "is", then various top majors were combined into a new attribute. For example, colleges whose top major is "in engineering" will include a college whose top major is chemical engineering, another whose top major is electrical engineering, and so on.
