College Prowler Take
Freshman students that are accustomed to certain weather conditions should be prepared to get a taste of all four seasons. In Atlanta, the fall typically carries a hot to warm temperature that usually forces students to have a few T-shirts and shorts in their wardrobe. The best way to deal with warm fall weather is to drink plenty of water and take advantage of the air-conditioned rooms that Clark Atlanta offers. The winter weather can be a bit tricky in that some days it is blazing hot and the next day it’s barely 40 degrees outside. During the beginning of the winter, the mornings will be cold, but later in the day it will be hot, so most students bring coats that they can easily take off as the progresses.
Like many places in the Southeast, Atlanta is not prepared for snow, and if this phenomenon occurs, be prepared for the city to shut down. The spring has got to be the most annoying season Atlanta has because of the overabundance of rain. Clark Atlanta students should invest in a good umbrella because there will be plenty of days that it will be a lifesaver to fancy hairdos and expensive clothing. The summer is hot; nothing more, nothing less. Atlanta is a college student’s dream town because it offers a bearable amount of every kind of weather. Prospective students should be warned that Atlanta has almost consistently ranked number one in cities that are the worst for allergies. Overall, Atlanta weather is great, especially compared to other places where climates and temperatures can get extreme.

The rain never seems to end in this city. I can honestly say that I have never been to a city that goes through such a heavy rain season. The best advice I can give to future students is to invest in a good umbrella and raincoat because, if not, that fresh weave and that new outfit will get soaked. |

The great thing about Atlanta is that this city is one of those cities that will have every type of seasonal change. People who are accustomed to hot weather will get a hell of a heat wave during the summer. The cold and rainy weather lovers will get a season full of heavy showers and cool to almost freezing temperatures. |

The weather in Atlanta is very funny because you’ll have days of total sunshine, and then all of a sudden it’ll be pouring down outside. The best advice I can give is to always be prepared for the rainy season, because when it comes, it really is heavy. |

When we get bad weather here, no one really is in the mood to be extra cute. It’s imperative that you bring an umbrella, because the rainstorms will definitely come throughout the year. |

The weather is whatever. You live...
The weather is whatever. You live with it and do what you have to do. I honestly don’t understand people who care so much about the weather. Why does it matter? If it’s cold, put on a jacket. If it rains, get an umbrella. The Lord is at work, just let him do his job. |
