How to Thrive in Green Bay Winters
Winter in Green Bay can be harsh — Green Bay hasn’t been deemed the “Frozen Tundra” for nothing, but winter at UW-Green Bay is full of opportunity! Here are a few tips and tricks for making the most out of your Green Bay winter:
Take the tunnels
UW-Green Bay academic buildings are connected by a concourse system — the tunnels. Walk comfortably from class to class without piling on the layers! UW-Green Bay’s tunnels are the perfect way to survive winter.
Enjoy a warm beverage
Warm up and relax by the fire at the Common Grounds Coffeehouse with a warm drink.
Don some Phoenix winter gear
Hats, mittens, scarves and sweaters, oh my! Who knew sporting your Phoenix pride could be so warm?
Bring summer fun indoors
