find yourself on campus!

It’s November, there’s a new, chilly bite to the afternoon air, and all of campus seems to be deep in the throes of midterm season. You walk out of class with your backpack hanging low and heavy off your shoulders. It’s going to be a long day of locking in.

You need to make a crucial decision: where to study. You find yourself drifting in one direction and then the next, unable to decide which library you’re feeling today. The sharp lines of the SciLi? The endless stacks of the Rock? Maybe even the quiet room in the Hay? 

If you’ve ever been caught in this dilemma, don’t fret! Take this quick quiz to learn which library matches the very essence of your character—or maybe just to decide where to hunker down for the next six hours.

If you chose mostly (a)s, you are the Rock!

You’re approachable, friendly, and down-to-earth. You’re well-rounded and enjoy both deep conversations as well as cheerful small talk. You might not always be the loudest voice in the room, but you’re steadfast and hardworking. You have a calm, warm presence that puts others at ease. You’re cooperative and tenacious, able to thrive in nearly any environment, and you bring a sense of open-mindedness everywhere you go.

If you chose mostly (b)s, you are the Hay!

You’re poised, self-assured, and a creative thinker. You likely have a strong sense of curiosity and introspection. Thoughtful and perceptive, you probably have an eye for details and the little things in life: you can appreciate the beauty of fleeting moments that many others might not even notice. You prize quality over quantity, and you value authenticity greatly. Regardless of whatever life throws at you, you remain admirably clear-minded and level-headed.

If you chose mostly (c)s, you are the SciLi!

You’re driven, energetic, and resilient. You’re most likely the friend who always has a million things to do, never one to back down from a challenge. You’re confident in your own abilities (or at least you should be!) and you do your best to take advantage of every opportunity life offers you. You’re also grounded, reliable, and probably have a great sense of humor. Your adaptability and loyalty make you a great leader, friend, and person.
