Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you're already from the Northeast, you know exactly what to expect in terms of weather at Fordham. But in case you're coming from the South, the West, or even another country, here's what you need to know. When school first starts, it's hot! Students stroll around campus in shorts, tank tops, and flip flops, trying to beat the heat. Then the fall sets in, and jeans and sweaters come out. In recent years, there has been quite a lot of rain in the fall months, and Fordham's campus does not handle rain very well, so be sure to pack rain boots and umbrellas. You don't want to ruin your sneakers or UGGs while running across campus in the rain! When it comes to winter, once a chill hits the air, make sure you have a warm winter coat so you don't freeze while walking to class. When the first snow of the season rolls through, many Northeast natives watch their classmates from warmer climates freak out and rush to go play in frozen powder they're excited to see for the first time. 

All in all, there's no extreme weather in the Fordham area, but over the course of one school year, every season will be experienced, so be prepared for everything. Also, check the weather before you get dressed and leave your dorm room! Just because the sun isn't shining doesn't mean it's cold, and you don't want to be sweating in class while everyone around you is in shorts.

It's New York, However It's Not the City...

In the City the land is unnaturally heated by the subways, and wind protected by the buildings. The Bronx is a different story. After the sunny fall days end, you will be greeted with numerous miserable days of 40 degree weather and overcast, usually with rain. This is partially due to the pollution from the area. By the time winter comes around be prepared for your life to suck, since everything is only accessibly by AT LEAST ten minutes of walking.

Tri State Area

Living in the Tri- State area my whole life, I am pretty used to the weather here. It snows in the winter so it's annoying to walk to class, but in the spring and summer it's so beautiful, everyone goes outside.
