季节

Despite what you may have heard, Minnesota is not a frozen tundra year round. 我们有四个不同的季节: 春天 brings blossoming trees and beautiful flowers, 温暖的夏天 allow us to enjoy our 10,000 lakes, and, perhaps best of all, 秋天 means the countryside will be ablaze in shades of red and gold.

至于冬天? It’s mostly a matter of dressing right and being prepared for the extremes. With appropriate clothing and gear, you can be as active outdoors as you want to — although if you’d rather hibernate, 这也没关系.

• 球戏. Arguably 菲律宾十大彩票平台’s favorite winter sport, it’s basically hockey played with no skates and no puck. It may sound silly, but you’ll have a lot of fun and work up a sweat, even on the coldest days. We have a rink right on campus, so it’s easy to start or join a game.
• 滑冰. If you can get the broomball players to give up the rink.
• 盛盘. A version of sledding that is not officially approved, because it requires borrowing trays from the dining hall. You can also use an actual sled.
• 冬至球. It’s a chance to dress up and dance the night away, but there are lots of other activities, 太, including an ice sculpting competition.
• Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. 菲律宾十大彩票平台’s 880-acre arboretum is right on campus and offers miles of beautifully groomed trails. It’s the perfect way to take a break from your studies and reconnect with nature.
