Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The weather at OWU is about as predictable as the stock market. Delaware, OH has all four distinct seasons with and a common theme throughout the year: extremes! The summers are extremely hot and humid and can be torture if you live in one of the dorms that lacks air conditioning. The fall is extremely unpredictable where hurricane-strength winds, 70 degree days, and inches of snow can all happen within a week’s span. Winter is ideal for the students coming to OWU from their hometown in Anchorage, Alaska. What every student soon learns about OWU is that, unlike high school, snow days are pretty much a thing of the past. Not all hope is lost of waking up to class being cancelled for a snow day, though, as often professors will individually cancel their class, as many of them live farther away and cannot make it to Delaware.

Pack every type of clothing that you have in your closet, especially the ones that you think you will not need. Only the Smith residence halls offer air conditioning, so if you live anywhere else, bringing a fan is very important. Also, if you plan on staying for summer school, either rent a house with air conditioning or be prepared for a hot and humid summer session. The only thing certain about your experiences with the weather at Ohio Wesleyan is that it will never bore you.

Ohio Is So Cold!

I'm from Texas, so I wasn't prepared for the Ohio weather; being as its significantly colder in the north than it is in the south. But the walk from the residential side of campus to the academic side isn't too bad, and the sidewalks are usually salted so as to remove the snow before I being my daily routine.

Unpredictable

The weather in Delaware, Ohio is so unpredictable. It can be snowing lightly and freezing cold on one day and the next day, the sun is out. The weather is very erratic and this is somehow annoying

The weather in Ohio is simply just weather in Ohio. Expect a snow storm and a heat wave all in one day.
