Without a doubt, walking is the most economical way to access the Twin Cities campus. The University offers an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere with plenty of foliage and green plazas in different areas of campus. During snowy or rainy days, visitors can walk between most University buildings in the comfort of tunnels and skyways – the Gopher Way.
