Summer Is Great, Winter Not So Much

The Fall was abnormally warm, and the Spring and Summer is beautiful at Williams. However, the Winter has been very wet and cold, it's pretty miserable.

Winter Wonderland

The fall weather is absolutely gorgeous. Some people complain of the cold that follows, but the snow merely adds to the campus's beauty.

Brrrr!

Williams is located in the Berkshire Mountains, about a five minute drive from Vermont. That being said, the weather up north gets cold - fast. We had our first minimal snowfall last year in November, and once it started snowing, it barely stopped until April. The snow and the scenery are beautiful, and during Winter Study one of the best parts of January is appreciating the great winter, but after a while (around February), everyone starts to get sick of it snow and the grime it causes. When packing, definitely bring a lot of warm heavy clothing for walking (and playing!) outside, but also remember to bring lighter clothing for weekend parties and for when the weather gets nicer (as it finally does)!
