What is the weather like in La Crosse, Wis.?
One of the great things about beautiful western Wisconsin is that we get to enjoy all four seasons of the year. Temperatures can range from 95 in August to -15 in January! La Crosse experiences beautiful sunshine, wintry blizzards and everything in between. The residence halls are not air-conditioned, so you will need a fan in the warmer months. Air conditioners in the residence hall rooms are not allowed unless you have a doctor’s note prescribing the need for an air conditioner. Dining areas, Cartwright Center, and academic buildings are all air-conditioned. You will need a variety of clothes to be comfortable in all seasons and weather conditions throughout the academic year. Your wardrobe may range from shorts, tank tops and sandals, to long pants, warm sweaters and snow boots.
