College Prowler Take
Atlanta’s weather is beautiful. The fall is warm with lots of breezes, where a T-shirt, jeans and sandals are perfect, and you won’t ever be cold in shorts. The winter can get cold, but it doesn’t really ever snow (when it does, the native Atlantans freak out). You will need some sweaters and a jacket for late November through February. Spring is amazing from March on, but it does rain a lot in April, May, and June, so an umbrella is key. The springtime in Atlanta is truly beautiful. Summers are burning hot, especially July and August. Don’t bring a car down here without air conditioning, as the humidity makes for some stale afternoons in the summer. Overall, Atlanta’s weather is a blessing to the students of Emory. For such high average temperatures, Atlanta does manage to have four full and notable seasons. Emory students love the springtime, and people take advantage of the nice weather by sunbathing and hanging out all over campus. Allergies can be a problem for some, especially people used to cold climates. When it rains, it can rain hard and sometimes for days on end, but it’s worth it for the tremendous day-to-day weather students enjoy in Atlanta.

I love the weather here! The winter is short; spring is beautiful, especially on Emory’s campus; summer is blazing hot but the pool scene is great; and the fall is gorgeous as well. This city gets a full four seasons—something you can’t say about most hot-weather cities. |

Atlanta can be erratic in its weather, but for the most part you have four full seasons. The winters aren’t as bad as the far North and the summers aren’t as bad as the farther South. |

I love the weather in Atlanta. Being from the Northeast where the winters are atrocious and fall is pretty cold too, Emory is a welcome change. Fall is comfortable and winter is not bad at all, the spring is perfect, and the summer is scorching hot and humid. Really only the summer is bad, and still it is at least always sunny and nice out. |

It does rain a lot during the winter and spring, but this is worth it for how nice it is for nine months of the year here. You could get by with limited cold weather clothes and be fine. |

It is usually warm and sunny, and there is a very distinct change in seasons, which is nice for such a hot city. We are out in shorts and T-shirts way before and long after most schools, so that is nice also. |
