It's Allendale...Be Prepared

This year wasn't too bad, but snow on campus is terrible. Walking to class may not seem too bad any other time, but heavy winter snows make it unbearable. The buildings are placed in a way that creates wind tunnels which makes things worse...

Not So Seasonable

Grand Valley dorms do not have air conditioning because it is cold for the majority of the school year. Needless to say it is burning hot for the first two months and than the other seven months or so there are feet of snow. Because the weather is so cold it is even more incentive for all the students to stay in and make the campus look dead often which is fairly sad.

Weather

Its michigan people, and the west coast. You better love the snow. The summers are hot, and the winters are cold. The good thing is, is that campus is only a few minutes from lake michigan, so on nice days, its a short trip!
