Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The weather in Winston-Salem and on the Wake Forest campus is simply glorious but has the variety of four distinct seasons. The hot North Carolina summer that you will enjoy upon arrivial transitions into a balmy fall that is conducive to both being outside and wearing short sleeves.

Beginning in the middle of November, it starts to get chilly outside. You can easily spot students who are from the south by their scarves, gloves, and heavy jackets that they wear at the slightest nip in the air. Winter in Winston-Salem also brings the occasional snowfall, which, apart from being a lot of fun, usually cancels classes. The first few snowflakes that fall have the students hoping that they will receive that special e-mail. 

Spring in the south is gorgeous, and Winston-Salem is no exception. Students really take advantage of the weather, and you will always find people outside socializing, running, or studying. Something important to know is that the campus walkways flood when it rains. This means that you should either invest in a nice pair of rain boots or plan on dodging puddles along the way to class.

Best Days of My Life

i've never seen so much sun in my life. when the winter rains arrived, i had forgetten what it was like for the dewy drop to fall upon my brow. the thirsty grass yearned for this respite from Apollo's glorious stare. my tan is coming along wonderfully from just walking around naked.

Four Seasons

Wake Forest is located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. That means when it's cold enough it can snow and snow and snow. That being said, Winston-Salem is in the South, so get used to the humidity of August and when spring gets rolling. In a nutshell, Floridians may find it chilly at times, and New Englanders will find themselves right at home.
