College Prowler Take
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 Students Speak Out

There are lots of overcast days and the state of Michigan itself only sees about 60 days of sunshine a year. The winters are very cold with so much snow that it makes you not want to go to class.

Michigan winters: Be prepared for blizzards. That being said, I enjoy having all four seasons, and there aren't many campuses that are prettier than MSU.

Will Change in the Blink of an Eye
B+
I have lived in Michigan my whole life (21 years), so I am use to the weather here. We have days in which it will snow/rain for two days, yards and sidewalks will be flooded, and we have times in which it will be overcast for several weeks straight. I always remind myself during these times however, when Michigan has beautiful weather, Michigan has BEAUTIFUL weather! The colors of Michigan (not just in fall) are so vibrant, and our campus' beauty allows me to spend hours just walking or sitting around campus, and not feel like i'm wasting my time.
The size of our campus makes it suck during the bad weather, when you have classes that are far, it's just adding insult to injury because commute time could take up to a 45 minute walk, or a 10 minute wait for your bus.
BTW, classes are almost never canceled for the weather

The weather is always constantly changing, even multiple times during the day. Michigan has a fairly cold climate, so it would be smart to bring a sweatshirt with you even if it isn’t that cold when you left for class, because on your way back the temperature can drop dramatically. |

Michigan weather could be the most unpredictable weather in the country. Prepare for weeks in the middle of February when the temperature is eighty degrees on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, followed by snow on Thursdays. |
