“I really can’t imagine any school being better than the U for outdoor recreational activities. I mean, we’re 20 minutes from some of the best ski resorts and climbing in the country.”

Students gather around a cozy campfire, enjoying each others company and looking forward to the next day

“There’s a lot of people who come away from these trips with new friends. There are many times I’ve introduced two complete strangers to each other and then a month later I see them on campus eating lunch together.”
