College Prowler Take
In Pittsburgh, the blue sky is often obscured by gray clouds. On clear days, however, the town is like an entirely different place—people are cheery and the school’s population almost seems to double. Students often complain about the weather. If the climate was nicer, maybe most students wouldn’t always be holed up doing work. One of the first jokes you’ll probably hear about Pittsburgh will be about the weather. It’s rare that you’ll have a day where the blue sky is not obscured by gray clouds. Rain is a constant year round, and the snow was pretty bad last winter. In the summer, Pittsburgh gets really humid, and everyone does what they can to stay cool. When you come to campus in the fall, wear shorts and a T-shirt, but make sure to pack winter clothes; the weather gets very cold, very fast. Bringing some snow boots wouldn’t be a bad idea, either.

I remember returning from Winter...
I remember returning from Winter Break in Chicago, which had 0-20 degree weather, to find people on campus b*tching about 30-45 degree weather. It felt like a variable heat wave to me! Pittsburgh weather is fickle like Chicago weather but generally not as cold. Wear bright clothes to lift your spirits, keep an umbrella handy, and invest in some decent boots. And do try to stick around for one Pittsburgh summer. It was gorgeous and not too hot or humid compared to Chicago summers. If you want to complain about heat, visit Carnegie Mellon's Qatar campus in June through August.

Pittsburgh weather is . . . flaky. It rains a lot in the spring and fall, and it snows a lot in the winter. The winter can get really cold, so bring your long johns. The late spring is a great time to be on campus, though. The sunshine and warm weather brings students out of their rooms and into the Cut for some seriously-needed tanning. |

The weather is unpredictable at best. It’s even freezing at the end of May! I like the weather, though, because it always keeps you on your toes. I’d be bored in a place where it never changed. |

Most people think of Pittsburgh as a rainy, dreary city; but that is just the stereotype. It’s hot in August and September. In October and November, it cools down. It’s cold in December and snowy into January. Springtime is nice; it’s the best time of year in Pittsburgh. |
