It’s only halfway through November but temperatures on many college campus are already plummeting. As a New Englander, I am dreading the long winter months and I am sure many students feel the same. There are lots of awful things about dealing with winter at college, but it is not all bad! Check out these pros and cons of college life in the winter.

1. Having to bundle up to stay warm
Pro: The perfect excuse for wearing sweatpants/ yogas and a hoodie everyday.
Con: No more dressing nice for class. Plus you have to deal with figuring our how many sweatshirts and jackets you can put on at once in an attempt to not freeze walking across campus.
2. Snow days
Pro: Time to catch up on sleep and homework and get a little snow day wasted.
Con: None!!
3. Having to get out of a warm bed in the morning
Pro: The winter weather is a perfect excuse to stay in bed all day, your professors may not think so, but it is.
Con: When you actually do have to get up (because you can’t live in bed forever) it is absolutely miserable.
4. Trying to go out at night in the cold
Pros: If you don’t want to do out the weather is a good reason to stay in for the night.
Cons: Going out is hard; less people want to party in the cold weather and it is impossible to pick an outfit that is both cute/sexy/nice and also winter appropriate.
5. Dealing with snow and ice
Pro: It looks pretty! For a little at least.
Con: It is freezing and messy and slippery. It is sometimes impossible to avoid embarrassing falls on the ice while walking around campus.
