The Gustavus Rhythm in January

Many students are away from campus for student-teaching, studying abroad, or internships. This may create a sense of loss for students remaining on campus. There is satisfaction and/or disappointment with first-semester grades. Students may feel loneliness for relationships at home or relief to be back at school.  Because students take one class during January, some students find they have more time than during the semester to work, be involved with intramural sports, or spend time with friends. Touring Break at the end of the month is a time many students travel or return home, but the residence halls remain open.
