    Alright guys.

    This is my 5th year in this beautiful educational centre. Im starting this thread because i am becoming extremely fed up of the lack of indoor spots to just read a paper or have a cup of tea. My usual places would be the eng building or downstairs in the restauraunt.

    Theres plenty of spots to do this outside whens the weathers nice but the fact most sitable places at covered in bird **** dont make them too appealing.

    Just wondering where people like to kill some of their spare time when we should be in the library

    Engineering is OK - I'm there right now. Another is the top floor of the Science Hub, though the benches are hard. There are bench tables on the ground floor of Health Sciences, though I have seen them quite busy.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I have a spot I quite like, but I'd prefer it remained uncrowded :p

    Think the best place is either the common room in Engineering which is cool, or the café in Conway.

    These of course come second to the bar!!

    The colourful sofa/chair area under the restaurant.

    The ground floor of the Physics building. All of my lectures (except Algorithmic Problem Solving which I rarely attend anyway) are in the Science Hub, Physics building or the CSI building, so it's pretty central. And there's usually a table free where I'll sit with a few friends and fart around.

    The secret floor of the library and newstead are usually fairly nice. Although Newstead is a bit of a trek and doesnt a shop

    This. It's where I've spent most of my time in college. No wonder I'm repeating 3rd year.

    Every year that place seems to get more and more crowded. It's a great spot though.

    I saw that actually for the first time the other day actually. It may have to be given a trial run
