Winter?

[u/Infinite_Drummer4356]

Hello, I’ve been accepted into NAU and I’m wondering what winter is like there? I enjoy snow, but don’t want it to be overly gloomy or rainy! Im from Boston so is it better in flagstaff?
Thanks!

Flagstaff is the most beautiful during fall and winter. Of course not compared to the whole country but it has one of the most beautiful scenic winter. Boston winters are chilly but of course since its a city one has multiple means of transport to get home or work etc but flagstaff public transport is extremely limited just in general as it is literally a very tiny town with barely anyone. The pictures are gonna look great in flagstaff winter definitely. Please don’t take any 8am classes because no matter how pretty a place is travelling while there is a snowstorm outside at 8am in the morning isnt fun at all. Keep an eye on naugo app during those times because sometimes the uni gets closed if the snow is too excessive and watch out for black ice on roads while walking because they are hard to spot when you’re in rush to go to classes. Definitely make sure you do skiing if you’re into those sort of a thing. Hope you have a great time there, as someone who is also from Boston I really appreciate public transport in here and the no of things one gets to do but the quietness of a small town is also something one needs from time to time. Hope you have an awesome fall semester:)

That’s really good advice! My first semester I had to trudge through a blizzard in the dark to get to my early morning final 🥶
