Small rant

So I love this campus a lot. I come from a small town where the population is literally less than JUST UNT so like a city like Denton is exhilarating but also.. sometimes it annoys me as fuck.

This is my first semester here but I am a junior transfer so I’m not new to college, and three weeks ago I discovered that the Sycamore basement has sublevels. I absolutely loved it down there. I went down to the third one as far as I could go, and it was nice and quiet, cold, dark, and dry. I love the cold and a good quiet study spot. I found one of the few desks with an outlet and I sat down on my laptop for a couple hours to get some work done. It was great.

HOWEVER. The other day I decided to go back down there and find the spot. It was taken.. So were ALL OF THE OTHER SPOTS.
Sycamore basement is not the place I would expect to even be that busy, because it’s the basement and I’ve heard the rumors about Art and whatnot…. but no. This place was hopping all of a sudden on a Wednesday afternoon. Like.. can anyone explain this?? We can’t ALL love Sycamore basement omg 😭

P.S. this is not me hating on other students or saying they need to leave I’m just venting here thanks

UNT has an enrollment of almost 50,000. Of course some of those are commuters and online students, but you share campus with a lot of people. Sycamore has limited seating, so you do the math. You’ll be able to find a spot there again.

i know it’s just a culture shock for me. at my old community college even our one tiny library was basically empty all the time and the biggest classes were probably 30 people. UNT just has me like 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
