It can be cold, lonely, and The Local closes early. But each year, many students return to campus in January to pursue projects of all kinds.</p> <p>We asked a handful of students how to survive <a href="http://www.oberlin.edu/wt/">鶹Ƶ’s winter term</a> on campus, and one response appeared over and over. So what was the overwhelming advice? The resounding reply was: “Join a co-op!”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <figure><img alt="Students preparing a meal in Harkness Coop" height="467" src="/sites/default/files/content/news/image/harkness4.jpg" width="700"> <figcaption class="credit">Image by Marissa Fisco</figcaption> <figcaption class="caption">Students making dough for "tasty treats" in Harkness kitchen.</figcaption> </figure> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>“Join a co-op! Guaranteed food and friends twice a day.”</em></p> <p>-Katie Fittinghoff ’19 | winter term project: AMAM's Practicum in Museum Education</p> <p><em>“Join a winter term co-op! You're guaranteed to see a solid group of people twice a day. You can see what being in a co-op is like without committing for an entire semester. And the meals end up being less than $3 per meal!”</em></p> <p>-Charlie T. ’19 | winter term project: Intensive Greek and OSCA winter term membership secretary</p> <p><em>“Find people you love and invest in them. Suggest hangouts, join a co-op. Tell people they matter to you. Say yes as often a possible but also be sure to dive deep into your project so you get something valuable from your time here.”</em></p> <p>-Ketzel ’18 | winter term project: GIS</p> <p>So what’s your advice for surviving winter term on 鶹Ƶ’s campus?
