“Everyone was always smiling and looked like they liked
their jobs,” Seeley said. “Plus it was busy and I new I’d make money.”

“It’s great when no one is here I can really focus on working in my sketchbook” James said.
Sophomore and Jazz studies major Darja Tomanovic likes the
convenient location to the music building and that the calming environment
offers a comfortable place to relax.
“The atmosphere is usually calm, it’s a great place to study
and the people are so nice,” Tomanovic said. “I enjoy it every time, except
when it’s too crowded to find a space.”
