Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The bottom line about weather is that there are four seasons, and you need to be prepared for all of them. Ohio weather is a tour de force; it is not Hawaii—there will be some snow in the winter. And winter will last for a good while, which is a source of complaint for most students. However, once the weather warms up (and it will), students will be out on the quads throwing a Frisbee around or reading in the sun. You may even see the occasional barefoot student.

In the fall, T-shirts and shorts are the way to go. The weather will be warm, and if you wear long-sleeved shirts all the time, you will be more than aware of it. In the wintertime, a nice winter coat will get you through, and if you’re particularly sensitive to cold, you may benefit from dressing in layers. The nice thing about Ohio weather is that although it does snow, Denison is outside of the snowbelt, so you won’t be up to your knees in it all winter. And the weather is just temperate enough that sometimes we get winter rain instead of snow. In the spring, the weather will warm up again and shorts will serve you well. Just be prepared for the spring rain. An umbrella at Denison is a must!

Unpredictable

The weather in Granville is very unpredictable and sometimes it will be 30 degrees in the morning but then it will warm up to 65 and you're sweating by the end of class. When it's nice out every loves hanging outside on the quad. There are the threat of tornados though, which will force you into a basement for a while if they last long.

Typical Midwest Weather

I've noticed that Ohio has a lot of rainy days - definitely be prepared with boots and an umbrella. Overall, mild winters and an early spring. A warm, sunny day here is gorgeous on the quad.

It's Ohio

I try not to hold the Ohio weather against Denison. Ohio weather sucks. It's gray nine months out of the year, but those three sunny months almost make up for the rain and coldness.
