College Prowler Take

Miami’s weather touches on the best and the worst of all four seasons. Students bring their warmest and their coolest clothing to prepare for the ambiguous weather. One day you will see people walking to class in shorts and sandals. The next day they will be bundled up in sweaters while fresh icicles drip from the trees. One way that some students choose to make the most out of the freezing winter is to ‘borrow’ trays from the dining halls and sled down the hills near campus. The hill on North Quad behind Flower Hall is the best for this activity. There are also some great hills over on Western Campus.

Whatever the season, Miami’s campus is always beautiful. With heated sidewalks, it is a little, but not much, easier to avoid falling down on your way to class in winter. However, your best bet is to just walk through the snow. The heat of summer only becomes really terrible if you aren’t in an air-conditioned dorm. Fall and spring are both beautiful. Personal preferences determine how pleasant, or unpleasant, a student considers the weather to be at any given time, but if you like to experience all four seasons in one location, Miami is the place to be.

This year it started snowing, and it didn’t seem to stop until Spring Break in March. It continued to be cold throughout April. 12345 Weather Report

I can remember days when I’d wear shorts and a tank top one day and would seriously be bundled up the next. Fall is so pretty on campus, and the weather is usually mild. 12345 Weather Report

School will never get cancelled because we have heated sidewalks. It’s great when you’re walking to class on a cold day and you walk on the heater. You’ll just want to sit there because it’s so warm! 12345 Weather Report
