College Prowler Take
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. Students Speak Out

Delaware County Weather
C
The weather of Delaware is typical of Ohio. There is a lot of snow in winter, which is a hassle because classes are rarely cancelled. The nuisance increases when the school does not adequately clear walks, thereby making the walk to classes unpleasant. However, during the fall and spring there are many students outside enjoying the wonderful sunshine and pretty landscape.

The weather in Delaware is typical of Ohio—it can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The walk to class is generally 10 to 15 minutes, so it is necessary to dress appropriately. For fall and spring, shorts and T-shirts are a must (especially in the non-air-conditioned dorms, so bring fans!) In the winter, a coat, hat, and gloves are definitely a good thing to have. It can get windy, and being without these items is not pleasant. |

In 15 years, we have only had two snow days, and that was during a level-three snow advisory. |

Weather is anywhere from zero degrees to 90 degrees. It’s dreadfully hot when you move in. It’s dreadfully cold when you leave for winter break. So, bring all kinds of clothes—shorts, jeans, tees, sweaters, sweatshirts, sweatpants, capris. And it helps to have a few dress-up clothes on hand. |

It’s Ohio. One day you’ll be tanning out on Welch lawn studying for a final, and the next day you’ll be taking your final in the middle of a blizzard. The winter is long but not to harsh, and when there are nice days, everyone takes advantage and moves outside to study and play. |
