Students at the University of Denver know these winter conditions too well, with them often effecting day to day activities when inclement weather strikes. 

“I have fallen multiple times while walking to class and have come quite close to injuring myself because of ice on the ground” said Hudson Cramer, a third-year finance major at the University of Denver, “I really think the city or the school should be doing more to make it safer for everyone”.
