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.
