Any school on your list will do.
You shouldn’t be concerned about the weather when there are much more things you should be worried about!
First off you need to make sure your grades are high enough from high school.
Then you need to check the tuition and other expenses.
Then you might want to check how close it is to any major cities (for internships etc)
Maybe then you can start talking about whther it might be too hot or cold.
All of those schools listed have very high standards and very low acceptance rates.
Not to mention that almost all of the schools listed are rated based on their MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree programs.
Aside from that, I personally beleive it doesn’t matter what school you go to, if you have the talent and drive, you’ll end up doing what you want to in life.
With business it might be a little hard because its true that going to a good school looks really good on any resume. I would start at perhaps a any in-state university, get exemplary grades, and then try to get accepted at a graduate school for business at any of these schools.
btw I went to college hoping to graduate with a degree in Business, but it turns out I hated what I was doing and now I’m studying Theater Arts, don’t make your mind up yet : )
