What are the best things to do on our UNH Durham campus during the winter? UNH shines throughout all four seasons. But, 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.

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. Be a kid again and take advantage of the first big snowfall on our campus!

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!

Attending an arts performance

Nothing is cozier than grabbing a seat in the Paul Creative Arts Center for a performance by some of our talented students. Choose from a music performance, a dance concert or live theatre.

Cheering on Wildcats hockey

UNH students love cheering on their home team during an exciting hockey game at the Whittemore Center Arena (the Whitt). As a UNH hockey fan, you'll take part in exciting traditions like throwing the fish and cheering with the 'Cat Pack Captains.
