There was actually a couple times when my friends called me to see where I was. I was napping >.>

Think of that before you think of renting one of those rooms to study, lol.

That is really creepy and disgusting...

Where is this physics lounge you speak of?

Ya, it's open all night. The only problem is, no matter what, the only couch you will ever be able to get will always be near a couple idiots that won't shut up. I don't get why some people go to just "chill" there at 5 in the morning...

That's great if there's a snow storm and you can't get home
Is it safe? Seems silly I know but ...people sleeping in a room easily accessible to others is..not always ...safe.

It is very safe. I've slept in the Student Centre multiple times. I always leave my laptop on the floor next to the couch that I sleep on. Nothing happens to my stuff...

Aw, now everyone will know about it :(
It's already impossible enough to find a free seat/couch on the upper floors... seriously.

Reading this thread is surprising... I didn't know hanky panky went on that much on campus. I'd expect that much in residence, but other places? Hrrm. o_O
