What SRU Does During Common Hour

Do you ever wonder what SRU students do with their common hour?  It appears that most students take advantage of the time that SRU so kindly gives us by using it to study.  During common hour you can find the majority of students either at the library, in the quad (while it's nice out), or at the Union grabbing lunch and socializing with friends while they wait in line at Starbucks or Rocky's.  Walk into Bailey Library during common hour and practically every computer will be occupied as students hurry to try to finish assignments that are due in their next class or are pretending to study as they socialize with friends. If the library isn't your scene, you can find the other half of the student body at the Union or in the quad where people wait in long lines to get their coffee fix and lounge around in the quad.  Whatever you do during common hour, take advantage of the break and enjoy!
