In preparation of The Peak’s sex issue, we asked readers to tell us where their favourite places to do “it” on campus are. After sifting through hundreds of submissions and compiling all of the answers, we finally have the top six places on campus where people like to settle down and get busy.
1. The silent study floor in Bennett Library: Whoa, boy, if there’s one place on campus where it’s good to get down and dusty, it’s the six floor of the Bennett Library. A hotbed of activity, I’m surprised they don’t just have mattresses set up — ‘cause of how much time I spend up there.
2. The English Student Union common room: Nothing gets me in the mood like being around like-minded people who can empathize with me over the same course work and professors. Once I get my things set up, I swear, I could do it all night long in the common room — and I almost did once!
3. On the football field: I’ve always had an exhibitionist side to me, so I can definitely agree with people who said the football field was their favourite place to study on campus. Sometimes the field can get a bit crowded though, so it’s harder to find a good spot to do it.
4. The sixth-floor bathrooms of the AQ: I don’t really understand this one. Is it because not a lot of people go up there, so you can set up your studying materials in a stall and not be interrupted? I don’t know how I’d feel about hooking up in the bathroom though, considering there aren’t a lot of spare electrical sockets for my laptop.
5. In one of the residences: It might get a little crazy in there at times, but so many fellow undergrads occupying the same space, you’re bound to find someone willing to be your study partner.
6. The couches in The Peak offices: Sure, they’re comfortable, but what helped the couches we sit on on a weekly basis make the list is presumably the fact that they recline, so they’re lying flat. That way you can lie down while cramming.
