Fall is a time of falling leaves, the end of summer and going back to school for students across America. Now that summer is over, a lot of people have mixed feelings on fall with the amount of schoolwork and drops in temperature. However, I think that fall is the best season to be here at Fairfield. There are a lot of fun events on campus in the fall semester, not to mention the beautiful weather and scenery on campus. Here are a few reasons why fall is the best time to be at Fairfield.

1. The foliage

It is definitely not something you can experience throughout the rest of America. There is nothing like New England foliage in the fall and it is especially beautiful here in Stag Country.

2. The weather

Fall weather is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is beautiful none the less. It is not too hot and not too cold.

3. Fall clothing

For me, one of the best parts of fall is obviously sweater weather. Whether it's dressing for class at Fairfield or dressing up on the weekend, fall fashion always has a lot to offer.

4. Boot season

Who doesn't love wearing boots in the fall especially at Fairfield? It completes the perfect fall outfit.

5. Apple/pumpkin picking

Going apple picking or pumpkin picking is a must-do for everyone during the fall. There are a lot of great places to go in the Fairfield area as well.

6. Fall foods

The first thing that comes to mind for me is Apple Cider Donuts, but there are also many other yummy fall treats to indulge in all season long.

7. PSL

Calling all basic white girls — it is that time of year again. For those who aren't coffee fans, a PSL is a pumpkin spice latte; definitely a fall staple.

8. The events on campus

There are a lot of fun things to do on campus in the fall at Fairfield like Prez Ball and Red Sea Madness. We all have to take advantage before the cold weather strikes our campus.

9. Going into the city during the nice weather

There is nothing better than NYC in the fall. We are a quick train ride away from one of the best cities on Earth — what could be better?

10. Being able to go into town with no snow on the sidewalks

Downtown Fairfield is a popular hangout for all Stags. It is a great place to go and spend some time there during the nice weather.

11. Halloween

Halloween is absolutely one of the best parts of fall. Getting dressed up in different costumes is always so much fun and a great time to spend with friends.
