If you\u2019re from a warmer climate, you may wonder how we in the Notre Dame MBA program manage the wintry chill and deep snow on campus. Have no fear. As a lifelong Midwesterner, I\u2019m here to offer my expert advice on surviving a South Bend winter:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Dress for success.<\/b> To equip yourself before the cold hits, you need:<\/span><\/p>\n

* A coat: warmth is key. Nobody will judge you if you spend the season looking like you\u2019re wearing an ankle-length sleeping bag. Seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n

* Boots: warm and waterproof, with good traction for slippery sidewalks. I personally swear by my fleece-lined Hunter boots, but there are many other options if Hunters aren\u2019t your style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

* Accessories: a hat that covers your ears; a thick scarf that you can pull over your face; and warm, waterproof gloves. (Optional but highly recommended: fleece leggings or some other thermals that you can wear under jeans. These are also great for chilly tailgates and football games!)<\/span><\/p>\n

The price tag for these items can be steep, but there are many nearby outlet stores that offer high-quality items at a great price.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Use your locker.<\/b> Interviews and recruiter events continue in spite of the weather. Luckily, each student gets a locker in the\u00a0Mendoza building, so you can avoid stomping through the snow in your suit and dress shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Embrace the season!<\/b> If you\u2019re still reading, I haven\u2019t scared you off. I\u2019m glad, because I want to be clear: wintertime is magical. Notre Dame\u2019s campus looks like a snow globe come to life, and there are many outdoor activities to take advantage of in the cold. Last year, students had a blast snow tubing in nearby St. Joseph County Park, and we are planning more winter excursions this year. So put on your winter clothes, get outside, and enjoy it!<\/span><\/p>\n
