What is the Potsdam area like anyway?
A. It’s very rural. There are a lot of interesting places within a short drive (see some of the links below), especially the Adirondack park, Ottawa, and Montreal. In terms of recreation after a day of work doing math, you will probably be engaged in activities with the other REU students. In the past, our students have played a lot of group soccer and basketball, as well as parlor type games, including Set and chess.
