Lamont friends are beautiful but Lamont enemies can get ugly. Students spend marathon hours in the library cramming for finals, only to have their golden study moments soured by the antics of “That Kid.” The one who never learned proper library etiquette. Here are some helpful hints as you prepare to move into Lamont, permanently.
Don’t leave your stuff at a study space and bounce. There’s nothing more annoying than trudging to the library only to find all the desks “occupied,” half of them by phantom students who left their books there to claim territory.
On that note, sprawling is bad for the environment—don’t take up more than one desk with all of your crap.
Don’t take off your shoes if you know your feet may poison the air—especially rain boots after your socks are sopping wet, moldy, and have been fermenting for hours.
As much as you may love that Jojo song, it’s not necessary to share it with the world. If the music on your headphones is turned up so high we can hear what you’re listening to, it’s too loud.
Don’t convert your study carrel into a make-out nook. It’s spring; love is in the air, so take your animal urges outside.
Don’t show up plastered. You’ll just make us jealous.
On moving stuff around—use your common sense here. A chair here and there is fine but definitely not a desk or anything heavy that will be really distracting. Not to mention actual hell for whomever has to put it back.
There’s whispering and then there’s “just-as-loud-as-talking whispering.” We’re sure the gossip is juicy like whoa, but we don’t care.
Times are rough. Sometimes you’ve gotta sleep in Lamont. But, don’t snore. Please.
