Your UNH Winter Bucket List
What are the best things to do on the UNH Durham campus during the winter? If you are looking for a campus filled with exciting activities in all seasons, UNH is the right place for you. With temperatures dropping and the anticipation of the holidays and winter break coming up, there is so much to love about winter as a Wildcat.
To celebrate the beginning of winter, we're sharing some of our students' favorite winter traditions on campus. From hiking in snowy College Woods to enjoying an arts performance in the Paul Creative Arts Center, here are our students’ favorite UNH winter traditions and events.
UNH students sledding in the winter
Snowboarding and sledding down Library Hill
Our students agree that there’s no study break or weekend activity quite like taking a snowboard or a sled to the slopes of Library Hill. Take a break from studying and enjoy the first big snowfall on our campus!
UNH students eating in Holloway Commons dining hall
Making hot cocoa
Our students love making a warm cup of hot chocolate in their residence hall or in one of our dining halls. Once the temperature starts to drop, nothing warms you up like a hot beverage between classes or study sessions!
UNH students performing Anne of Green Gables
Attending an arts performance
Our students like to get out of the cold and support their friends and classmates by grabbing a seat in the Paul Creative Arts Center to take in a performance by some of our talented students. Choose from a music performance, a dance concert, or live theatre.
