Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Weather is your basic Goldilocks issue: Depending on whom you’re talking to, D.C. is either too hot, too cold, or—in rare cases—just right. For the most part, students are satisfied with the weather in Washington, with fall and spring getting especially rave reviews. However, if you hail from California, like a third of Georgetown's students, you will probably need to prepare yourself for a lot less sun and a lot more rain.

However, when spring rolls around, the whole place is a vision. The city is one of the most beautiful places in America in March and April, and Georgetown in particular is a lovely little town when the leaves turn dark in the fall. Winter can get a bit nasty, however, and most students say they wish Mother Nature would quit her January ambivalence—it snows a lot, but never enough to cancel class.

Bear Through Winter for Spring

DC weather is very unpredictable in the fall, and somewhat chilly in the winter; however when the spring time comes around, it is near perfection. The are transforms into one of the nicest locations in the country, cherry blossoms and sunshine.

I Come from MA So This Is Perfect (For the Most Part)

The Spring has started early!!! I love it. There was barely any snow. It got cold late into the year and started getting warm really early. The flowers are blooming and the grass is green! Such a difference from the North.

Seasons

The weather is great if you are looking to experience the seasons. D.C. is in between the North and the South so we get all four seasons. It does not snow very much in the winter compared to nearly every city north of it. I hear that it is very warm in the summer but school ends in May so if you are at Georgetown in the summer you have chosen to be.
