The weather impacts commuting with potential delays during heavy snow or rain. Campus life at NJTU adjusts to these conditions, with indoor activities during harsh winters and outdoor events in milder seasons. Research activities, particularly in environmental and transportation studies, often consider these seasonal variations.
