Weather

It's usually kind of crappy weather, but with a bit of luck global warming will help us out and it will slowly get warmer. This year we barely had a winter.

All Four Seasons

Personally, I love seasons, so the Northern climate with relatively hot summers and cold winters is fine for me. Campus is easy to navigate in general, and a little rain or snow doesn't change that. On the main campus, most of the walkways are brick, so if the weather isn't good, leave the heels at home, but otherwise, it's fine. The only real difficulty would be for anyone with a physical disability, because the wheelchair ramps and pathways aren't the best for navigation. I think Columbia should do a better job making campus more accessible to those with physical limitations, but it honestly isn't the worst, as there are ramps and elevators and campus is salted after snow in a very timely fashion.

It's Okay

Classes never get cancelled even if all other schools around get days off. Weather is just surprising here with either really freezing winters or just warm and mild winters. You never know what to expect.
