Snow Day!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Chicago ✅

<p>Okay, I live on a college campus and we had our first snow. My friends that live on campus (though most of us are still high schoolers) enjoyed the snow goofing around in between classes. However, the majority of the typical college students looked at us like we were nuts.
One of the main reasons I really like Chicago is because it's quirky. What do the Chicago students do when the first snow comes.
Are people thought of as crazy for playing in the snow, or is it that there's just absolutely no time to goof around because of the crazy workload?</p>

<p>Or are students too mature to make fools of themselves?</p>

<p>I like these snowmen currently on display in the main quadrangles: </p>

<p>You can't really see their true awesomeness from just a picture, though.</p>

<p>I literally laughed out loud at those, Phuriku. Thanks for posting that.</p>

<p>OMG! I know the kids who made that!</p>

<p>The phoenix was also nice- and the awesome one in the middle of the quad. </p>

<p>Massive unofficial house snowball fight moving across the quads.</p>

<p>Rickert won, btw.</p>

<p>not too mature to make fools of ourselves playing in the snow...although i'm sure that there were maybe one or two people on campus who didn't engage in the snowball fights all the houses were having... it was a blast</p>

<p>Rickert wasn't there for this - at least in numbers - Classics quad at about midnight?</p>

<p>this is great to hear. I haven't seen any of the students having fun in the snow except for students in the program that I'm in. I just got back from our midnight snow football game.</p>
