The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between weather conditions and mental health conditions amongst students on the Providence College campus. Our central research question guiding this study is: “How are weather variables, such as cold temperatures, precipitation, and sunshine connected to mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and levels of life satisfaction among Providence College students?”. Both qualitative and quantitative research was conducted to deepen our understanding of the findings from our college campus.
