‘I Am Really Sorry’: Khurana Apologizes for International Student Winter Housing Denials
After a record-setting snowfall last month, most students were looking forward to relief from the white stuff in April.
But while March may have gone out like a lamb, April has come in like a lion.
A snowfall which began last night was expected to blanket the Boston area with four to eight inches of snow before the storm tapered off this morning. Late last night, winter storm advisories were upgraded to winter storm warnings.
Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox have already canceled today's home opener against the Minnesota Twins.
And students are not happy.
One southern student, Matthew P. Silverman '98 of Texas, said he was fed up with the snow, and upset that baseball games were being canceled on account of the weather.
"I hate snow. I hate snow in April. I hate snow in January, but I especially hate it in April," said Silverman, a Leverett House resident. "I'm really ready for springtime to begin, for the Red Sox to begin, for the Red Sox to get out on the field."
Roy Kosuge '99, a native of Brazil, said he is flabbergasted by the springtime snowstorm.
"I mean, I'd expected cold weather and snow and whatever, but I just didn't expect it to be drizzling snow in April," he said.

But some students were prepared to grin and bear it.
"Basically, it does suck, but when I came looking here, I came in the middle of March when there were two feet of snow, so I kind of knew what I was getting into," said David L. Boggs '98, a native of Louisville, Kentucky.
Other students from the North also said that the snow wasn't especially bothersome.
"It snowed on my dad's birthday before, which is April 18, so I guess I'm used to it," said Jennie E. Connery '99, who lives in Massachusetts. "But I don't like it.
