College Prowler Take
The weather in Boston can run the extremes. Seasons don’t seem to matter too much here either. The weather can change drastically during the course of a day, and sometimes just during the hour you’re in class. You might even find yourself wearing winter clothes in summer and summer clothes in winter. It truly is unpredictable here, but you get used to it. Usually the fall is absolutely gorgeous, and you only need a light jacket and fleece. However, the winter is freakishly brutal, and sweaters, coats, hats and gloves are necessities. Snow can pile up, and classes won’t get cancelled unless it’s really, really treacherous out. Make sure you bring boots or at least shoes that are good in the snow. Spring (if Mother Nature is kind enough to give you one) lasts about two or three weeks during second semester, and that’s when all the short skirts and flip-flops come out. Heat waves are known to prevail during finals, so quality studying becomes an arduous endeavor. All in all, the weather at BC will give you a good variety of everything you could want from Mother Nature. You just might get it at unexpected times. Bring clothes and supplies for all seasons, and it probably wouldn’t hurt to carry a sweater and umbrella with you at all times, just in case. Students Speak Out

The weather is really hot in the beginning of September, but starting in early December, it gets very, very cold. There is a lot of snowfall and icy conditions from late December to March. Bring warm clothes, lots of socks and layers, a very warm winter coat, and hat and gloves. Also essential are rubber rain boots and warm snow boots or Ugg boots. An umbrella and a raincoat will be helpful, as well. Bathing suits will not be necessary!

There's every weather you could ask for in a full school year-when you get to school in the fall, it stays hot until about October, and then it will get blustery and possibly rainy. Snow keeps coming later and later, but there's normally snow right before Christmas break and then all through January and February. The best weeks are right before finals in May-it's gorgeous. Bring rain boots (they're good for snow and rain), an umbrella, and a light rain jacket. Also, bring a warm coat and gloves for winter—and even though some people think they're dumb, Uggs are really good for keeping your feet warm. Oh, and lots of scarves—they're fashionable and practical!

It's nice for the first couple of months of each year, but then it gets extremely cold and windy. Bring a large winter jacket with gloves and a hat.

The weather sucks in Boston, but that's no surprise. Pack every type of weather clothing because it can be 70 one day and 32 the next. It makes you appreciate the good weather that much more.

It rains a lot, so you'll need rain boots and a rain coat. It is freezing in the winter and snows often, so a warm winter coat is a necessity. In the spring when it is nice out, campus is the most beautiful.
