Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The weather in Florida is always random and unpredictable. Thankfully, there are covers over the walkways, but if you are parked somewhere far away, then there isn't cover for that area. Some days are rainy, some sunny, and some are freezing!

The weather really never makes a difference in the campus experience. The University has great transportation to and from campus, and when it's raining, most of the buildings protect the students well as they walk in between classes.

Couldn't Get Better

If you are looking for traditionally sunny weather, don't look any farther. It is sunny with no clouds most of the year. It rains for three months in the summer, practically always after 3 p.m. In the winter it hits low 50's for a few weeks, but the sun and warmth is always there.

Sunny With a Chance of Rain

Usually the weather is pretty warm with the sun shining all day but there are a few weeks where we get rain almost every afternoon.

Weather.. Ehh

The weather can sometimes mess up the day of activities. By this school, when it rains, it storms. So that includes tropical storm like weather (exaggeration) but it gets unfavorably wet on days. The weather determines my mood a lot.
