Studying on campus is a feat for any student of Mason. But where you study says a lot about you as a student and your identity as a Patriot.
1. The second floor of the JC
You are definitely in Greek life. You study in groups of eight or more and probably have a GroupMe for the sole purpose of organizing study sessions. You're cozy in your patagonia and probably stopped at Starbucks on your way to one of the massive tables on the second floor.
2. Outside of the Northern Neck Starbucks
You hate studying. Now that the weather has warmed up, all you want is to be outside. You probably live in Northern Neck and your hobbies include drinking iced coffee and people watching.
3. Old Fenwick
You're sentimental and cling to the familiar. You're not tempted by new Fenwick's rooftop garden, comfy chairs, or abundance of outlets. Old Fenwick was there for you when you pulled your first all-nighter in freshman year, or when you needed a place to hang out while your roommate's boyfriend was visiting. You're not quite ready to let go.
4. A Group Study Room
You are definitely not messing around. You have a specific task to complete and you have come to do just that. You're an engineering or math-based major with a reputation for marathon study sessions, and a private study room is your perfect habitat.
5. The first floor of the JC
Food is your primary concern. There's no way you're studying without the comfort of knowing Panera's broccoli cheddar soup is just a few steps away. Noise doesn't bother you, in fact, it helps you focus. You're a social butterfly and love running into people you know.
6. De Clieu Cafe
Hipster alert. You love old town Fairfax in all of its faded glory. You're an esteemed latte art critic who enjoys rustic interior design and street views. You're almost definitely an English or History major and the "Hermionie" of your group of friends.
No matter where you're studying, good luck on finals, Mason. Remember that you can't spell "studying" without "dying."
