<p>Is it true that there are tunnels around the campus for getting around campus? We visited during Thanksgiving holiday and weren't really able to access most of the campus.</p>
<p>Yes, I know of one tunnel that connects two residence halls.</p>
<p>The U of M - Twin Cities doesn’t have a large tunnel system. There are a couple that connect a few buildings. U of M - Duluth is the college that is completly connected by tunnels. You can access their entire campus through their tunnel system.</p>
<p>And probably a good thing, too. Duluth — brrrr! :)</p>
<p>The Tunnel System is called the “Gopher Way” Here’s a the link to a .pdf map:</p>

<p>There are many more tunnels than this map shows but these are the main routes. You have to figure out the rest on your own. Appart from a dash accross Washington St you never have to go outside if you choose. My cousin says he spends the buld of the winter in a sweat suit.</p>
<p>Yes, the tunnels are interesting and well trafficked in the winter. I have been going to campus weekly (mid-day on Mondays) this last semester for a seminar on psychology research, and most days I stayed above ground most of the time. But tunnels are available for a lot of useful routes if weather demands.</p>
<p>Woah, that is more extensive than I thought. Thanks for the link!</p>
