With a new school year comes new romance. Luckily, there are plenty of romantic destinations for you and your boo here at UNI. 

Those looking for a fun and outdoorsy activity with your significant other look no further than the classic college pastime of hammocking.

What’s more romantic than a picnic? Grab some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a blanket and set up on Lawther Field under the sprawling oak trees. Enjoy each other’s company and the entertaining antics of UNI’s squirrels.

Check out the purple and gold bikes at Rod Library and parooze around campus with your biking buddy. 

Outdoors not your thing? Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts center offers various shows from string quartets to comedian Jay Leno. Students can use two free tickets to get into a GBPAC hosted performance – a perfect idea for a date night.
