College Prowler Take
The last few weeks of September are some of the most beautiful days to live in Northeast Ohio. The trees are just beginning to change from forest green to a rainbow of reds and yellows, a nice cool breeze drifts by in the evening, and a chorus of crickets lulls you to sleep.
Other than that, the weather in Kent is more like something you have to put up with rather than something to be cherished. It’s in the snowbelt, so be prepared to stumble on a snow mound or ice clod at least once during the school year. And when it’s hot, it’s hot. Fortunately, the hottest months of the year are in the summer when most students are back at home. Bring everything: T-shirts, sweatshirts, down jackets, fans, blankets—you’ll be using all of them at some point or another, maybe all of them in the same day. If there’s one thing that’s more fickle than the moods of the black squirrels, it’s the weather.

The Kent campus is so windy! It makes walking to classes in the winter A LOT colder. It's typical Northeast Ohio weather though - all four seasons, which includes lots of snow in the winter.

Kent State is best at being inconsistent when it comes to weather. Bring your warmest jacket and then some for the winter season.

It’s freaking freezing and windy as hell in the winter, so dress warm. You’ll learn which paths are the windiest and avoid them. Around the Student Center is a wind tunnel. |

It’s either roasting hot, freezing cold, or raining. It’s Ohio. What do you expect? |

The weather sucks, especially winter. It’s the worst season of them all, and it makes me want to move out of Northeast Ohio. |
