Winter
MIT: Spring term starts in February. January is the Independent Activities Period (IAP). During this time, Significant Others can sign up for non-credit IAP courses.
Weather: Winter is beautiful in Boston. It will get cold, and it will almost definitely snow. Be prepared: have warm, waterproof winter coats, hats, gloves, scarves and waterproof footwear.
Recreation: The opportunities for winter fun are endless. Try ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snow tubing, building snowmen, and snow angels. For indoor activities, explore some of Boston's wonderful museums. You can get discounted admission for several museums with your SO ID.
