It also helps if you find a place to live where you don't pay for your own heat, so you can afford to keep your home heavily heated in the winter (particularly if the winter is bad).
As for sensible organization . . . I wouldn't count on it. Most colleges weren't planned, they grew with little to no emphasis on good design, particularly for small-scale features like minimizing the distances people might have to walk in the snow. This case may be an exception, but that's something you'd want to check.
