climate & weather
You can experience the full four seasons here! Weather in CT can be quite unpredictable sometimes, so it is advisable to check the weather forecast every day. Summer can get pretty hot, so it would be helpful to have a fan if you do not live in an air-conditioned dorm. Winter here is getting increasingly longer, and there are usually one or two snowstorms every academic year (Wes is usually very good at carving pathways for us to go to class). Spring usually starts around mid-April.
