The Mini-Condo That Almost Was...



The library is a common place for students to spend their time. In Oxford the library has a couple different meanings; a place to have a drink, a place to study, or a place to get your beauty sleep…?
As librarian Andrea Driver said “we regularly catch students trying to live in the mezzanines.” When the JD Williams library was first built, it had six floors, unlike the three floors it has currently. Some of the floors were made into half floors with the new renovations; mezzanine A, B, and C.
Mezzanine C was home to this penny-pinching student. Mezzanine C has individual study carrels reserved for grad students. For about a month the student claimed one of these tiny rooms as his mini-condo. He even moved in a mini fridge and toaster oven said librarian assistant Alex G.
To simply get as much study time in as possible, or to save some bucks, this goes to show how one reacts and keeps an open mind to unlikely opportunities.
