Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It’s hard to complain about the weather at Davidson, and students are more than amenable to the long springs and short winters here. As many point out, temperatures are relatively mild year-round, and the campus has been known to see weeks of 70-degree weather even in mid-January. While summer weather can get excruciating, most students are heading home just as the breezy May days are turning humid. Overcast days are few and far between here, but many students point out that you should bring your umbrella and raincoat anyway. Students are unanimous in recommending a varied wardrobe, and you’ll certainly need it all—from winter boots to swimming suits.

While Davidson may not be the best choice for those seeking year-round warm weather, it’s a great environment for those who like the change of seasons without the frigid temperatures of the northeast. You’ll see plenty of brilliant colors here, from fall leaves to spring flowers. Overall, students here won’t have trouble finding a variety of outdoor activities to do, no matter what season it is.

Bipolar Springs and Falls

Summers are hot but not stifling, winters are cold but not to bad (only snows about once a year). Falls and Springs are supper beautiful but can be bipolar i.e. it will be in the 40s for two days and the high 70s the next two.

Not Too Shabby

The weather is pretty hot and humid for the first few weeks of the school year, but it cools down to be really pleasant during the fall. Winter weather is never too cold. It rains a lot in the spring and fall.
