<p>I’m from South America, and I had similar worries to yours. </p>
<p>If you are really outdoorsy, the Tufts Mountain Club (TMC - check their website) is probably for you. Constant retreats, hiking, etc. opportunities. </p>
<p>You should also consider doing the Wilderness pre-orientation program, which is a great way to meet other outdoorsy freshmen and the upperclassmen leaders. I didn’t do it but my friends who have made their best friends at Tufts (and we’re seniors now!) during that pre-orientation week!</p>
<p>Yeah sometimes people sit inside. But I also run every other day of the year, sun, rain, snow, or otherwise! And I always run into people doing the same things. Just buy good gear for different kinds of weather, and your body temperature should stay just about the same all year-round ;-)</p>
<p>Intramural sports are also pretty big so if you’re an athlete who won’t be playing varsity, it’s a good way to stay active in team sports. I played co-ed soccer for the first two years and it was really fun. The gym is also a big hub of activity (particularly before spring break, haha, it’s always full of beach-ready bums). The facilities are pretty nice – indoor track is great, as well as the machine room, and the swimming pool.</p>
