Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

One day is never like the next in New London. The hardest time to pick out clothes in the morning has to be the transition into spring when the temperature vacillates between freezing and warm and it is constantly raining. This, of course, means packing more clothes than for say, Miami. Going home to update your wardrobe from time to time isn’t a bad idea, but don’t worry if you’re too far away to make the trip. As long as your closet is diversified, you’ll make it through the full spectrum of New London weather.

The good news is that winter is mild thanks to Conn’s position on the Long Island Sound. There’s hardly any snow or freezing rain to fight through on your way to class, although the wind coming off the Sound can feel as if it were from the Arctic. When Conn does get a few inches of snow, the campus often shuts down out of safety concerns for incoming faculty, and students get the day off. All-in-all, the weather will keep you on your toes, and the arboretum is beautiful in the fall and winter. Students from warmer regions complain about the weather at Conn, but after a harsh winter they, too, realize that anything above zero degrees Fahrenheit is warm.

Mother Nature's Experimental Lab

Being in New England means that Conn students are subject to the whims of Mother Nature's experimental lab. One day is beautiful and sunny the next it is raining and there seems to be monsoon like downpour's and the next it you can't feel portions of your body because it's so cold outside. That being said most people knowing the incredibly varying tendencies of the weather are either always prepared for whatever or just don't care and deal with the weather's craziness as it comes. In the beginning of the year in late summer/early fall and once spring hits people take advantage of the beautiful weather and its combination with our beautiful campus and hit the greens in full force.

Bipolar

The weather isn't that bad, but it tends to be random at times. Sometimes it will be cloudy in the morning and rain and then by 2pm, it's sunny and there isn't a single cloud in the sky.

Variable and Sunny

Conn is located in New England which mean weather is pretty diverse.

Seeing the campus under snow is magical and snow day doesn't mean that classes will be cancelled.

Classes are very close to the dorms because it is a small campus.
