Thanks so much if you guys can help at all. I am working on proofreading a piece that needs to have zero mistakes. It is not for college submission, but it is supposed to be at that standard. I have run it by every adult I know and we are all baffled. If anyone on The Flood is particularly word-savvy please help me.
Here are a few that have "mistakes" (which are not identified for us)
I want to avoid schools located in flat dry areas, places without skiing, and regions with undesirable climates.
I am looking for a school with a fun and exciting atmosphere.
There are many more that I am working on my own, but I don't see anything wrong here. My professor might just be on too much coke I don't know.

Add "and" between flat and dry. Also, "places without skiing" just sounds weird. Can you reword it some other way? Maybe like"places without ski resorts" or something? Because it just feels weird like that. Also, maybe reword the second sentence as "I am looking for a school with an atmosphere of fun and excitement."
