<p>hey guys! I was wondering what kind of activities (active ones) students at NU are involved in during the winter.</p>
<p>Also, does NU have any outdoor education (kayaking, backbacking, rock climbing) programs available to students?</p>
<p>During winter, many students are involved in fraternity and sorority rush. As well, fraternities around here sometimes throw parties that people like to go to.</p>
<p>We have intramural sports throughout the year. In the winter we have basketball, floor hockey, and something else I can't think of. Students involve themselves in this.</p>
<p>As well, students can end up doing research or other work under a professor. </p>
<p>Furthermore, you'll always find a group of kids outside playing football in the snow or having a snowball fight. Honestly, you'll find something to do during winter.</p>
<p>Not to mention, there are numerous clubs, concerts, activities, etc offered around campus. It's really up to you.</p>
<p>Outdoor activities:</p>
<p>There's a great club here called the Outdoors Club. They do have trips every quarter where they go kayaking, rock climbing, hiking etc. I don't know how commited they are to it during winter, but I know they're busy during the fall and spring.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>its one of the few schools i know of that offers sailing !! (on lake michigan).
although i wouldnt exactly want to fall off/capsize in lake michigan any time of the year....</p>
<p>i dont' sail now...but i would REALLY like to learn....i'm curious as to what months sailing is in season.....</p>
<p>its very easy to learn and awesome fun... my guess is that summer autumn is probably only time water temp is bearable .. unless they sail in wetsuits...</p>
