College Prowler Take
The weather in Boston is ridiculous. It has been known to snow buckets in March, and NU has even had a few snow days in recent years. The fall and spring seasons are the most comfortable because you can pretty much predict what the weather will be like, and it’s not too hot and not too cold. However, summer turns into fall really quickly, with not many days in between. Some students get really frustrated when it comes to the weather because it can really put a damper on one’s mood. Students don’t care for snow at the beginning of spring. The snow looks beautiful on campus, but really, how many days of shoveling snow do you need? Spring usually ushers in some fairly pleasant weather, though Northeastern’s term ends so early that students aren’t usually around to appreciate that. Students Speak Out

It is hot for the first few weeks, then we dive right into the long fall. It usually doesn't snow before winter break but always be prepared for the crazy New England weather. After that, it is bitter cold through March and will start to get warmer—but not hot!—by April, when we get out of school. If you stay for the summer, it will get hot eventually, with July and August routinely being from 80 to 90 degrees.

Two words: Get rainboots. It is freezing here in the winter, and the wind will blow you in every direction, but the worst thing in the world is sitting in class all day with wet feet—and you will. It may not seem like a big campus, but with the surprise factor of this weather, you are going to need need rainboots! My mom got me some freshman year, and to this day, three years later, I thank her every time it rains.

Winter is the biggest concern. You need an umbrella and rain boots for NU winters. Also, bring coats for all types of weather—rain, snow, wind. Girls, bring sassy boots for going out at night in the winter—you have to walk everywhere, so your feet will get cold in regular shoes.

The first month at school is beautiful out—flip-flops are necessary! After that, though, expect it to get cold—it is New England, after all. You need an umbrella—one that folds up small is useful for bringing to class. When it snows, bundle up! Bring a long winter coat, snow boots, a scarf, hat, mittens, and tons of warm clothes. Forget about looking cute—trying to stay warm is work enough!
