Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Willamette is in the Northwest and only really has two seasons: rainy and sunny. Be prepared for a few days of showers followed by a few of the most beautiful days you have witnessed. While it does rain a significant amount, it is never particularly cold on campus. In terms of preparing for the weather, make sure you have good shoes for the rain, a quality rain jacket, and an umbrella. For students from sunny places with little rain, the first few days of strong rain might be a bit depressing, but those students get used to the rain really quickly.

The best thing about the weather at Willamette is that extremes are rare. It will never get too hot, nor will it get too cold. Sometimes campus will get a small amount of snow, but it is never enough to cancel classes.

Rainy, With a Few Days of Glorious Sunshine

Rainy

It is very rainy. I like the rain, but this year there has been so much that the Mill Stream in the middle of campus has flooded and the school, as well as the rest of the town, is flooding. It is bad business. There was a little bit of snow, which was nice. If you are expecting sun, you will be sorely disappointed.
