<p>I’m from Southern California. When I came here, I expected the South to be a lot warmer than it actually was. Whereas back home I could wear a hoodie and jeans in the middle of January, if I tried that at Oxford (and I did many times), I’d have to run from class to class because I was so cold. That being said, the weather is a lot better than other, non California, regions of the country. </p>
<p>Coming from SoCal I wasn’t used to the rain. In fact I came during the summer for Own Oxford (great program, highly recommend it) and started freaking out because I’d never seen rain in July. Yea. The humidity wasn’t nearly as bad as people made it out to be, and even in July, I could run around outside for hours at a time without feeling too sticky and gross. </p>
<p>Right now the weather’s fantastic. For the past week or so I’ve worn just a shirt and shorts and haven’t had any issues with the cold.</p>
