Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Michigan residents experience a variety of weather patterns. It is not unusual to begin a week wearing snow boots and end it in shorts and a T-shirt. Summers are hot and can often be humid, while winters bring below-freezing temperatures and plenty of snow. Students should pack everything from shorts to a full set of winter gear. Fall and spring usually bring temperatures somewhere between these two extremes. During these seasons students can be found studying or playing sports outdoors, enjoying the sunshine. Rainy days occasionally put a damper on walking to class, but at least residents don’t have to worry about hurricanes or earthquakes.

Although Michigan weather is not always pleasant, seeing the leaves explode into color during the fall shouldn’t be missed. Despite the winter cold, snow-covered trees and buildings turn campus into a miniature winter wonderland. Students from the Midwest or the East Coast should have a good idea of what to expect from Michigan's weather. Those who are fortunate enough to hail from the sunnier states, however, are in for a treat. Just don’t forget to pack a warm coat, gloves, earmuffs, and one heavy-duty umbrella

Unpredictable Michigan Weather

As a Michiganian, I am use to the unpredictable Michigan weather. One day its sunny and 50 degrees, the next day its snowing and 20 degrees. As long as you wear enough layers and are prepared for any type of weather you shouldn't be too affected by the weather. It is definitely cold and not fun to walk to class in the winter months. However, walking during the spring and summer months is great.

Snow and Ice

The weather at Michigan State University is great in the summer and spring, but in the fall and winter the cold winds roll in and snow piles up. While the sidewalks are plowed there is still ice and snow in some places and it is almost impossible to use a bike.

Winter Is Not Always Fun

I love snow as much as the next person but it can make getting to class a little difficult. That being said, the sidewalks are kept fairly clear and are addressed quickly after a snowfall. It can be cold but it's Michigan, what do you expect? Just bundle up on the cold days and wear a hat and everything will be great.
