Back-to-back classes in different buildings will test your fast-walking abilities
Bond to Charles, Charles to Regent… they’re so close, yet so far away.
Finding a parking spot in front of 61 Charles Street Building is like winning the lottery
Those spots are hot commodities. If you manage to get one, embrace it.
Climbing the stairs of the parking garage is your cardio
Hopefully you remember what floor you parked on.
Every lecture is a three-hour lecture
Pardon? Some of you have classes that are not three hours straight? Can’t relate.
Writing papers is your bread and butter
And you wouldn’t have it any other way!
You can walk around 61 Charles Street Building all you want, a couch is never going to be available
You and your friends can always sit in a circle on the floor, I guess?
The Union Cafe (previously known as the Tuck Shop) has consumed most of your money
It’s the only place to eat without having to leave the building, and they have pretty good food… so here, take my money.
Your professor knows every student by name
One of the many perks of being in a small faculty!
When you visit the North campus location, you immediately need a map
So many buildings… so much confusion...
You know (or know you have seen) every student you meet in the halls
Another perk of being in a small faculty; every face is a familiar face!
