Results
Drum roll please…
Mostly A’s
Location: Central Courtyard
Your personality type: The campus Celebrity
You cannot walk across campus without running into someone you know.
You arrived to study, but you’ve already had three conversations, made weekend plans, and learned about someone’s group project. The Courtyard is basically your office and social calendar.
Mostly B’s
Location: Science Atrium
Your personality type: The Main Character Academic
Plants. Cute tables. Magic drinking water.
Your study sessions are less “doing homework” and more “curating an academic aesthetic.” Somehow, surrounded by greenery and good vibes, you actually get a surprising amount done.
Mostly C’s
Location: Arts Atrium
Your personality type: The Silent Genius
Nobody knows where you are.
Nobody knows how you’re always caught up.
You quietly sit down, finish your work, and leave before anyone even notices you were there.
Mostly D’s
Location: Commons Floor Zero
Your personality type: The Professional Yapper
You genuinely mean to study.
Unfortunately, every study session starts with a quick chat that turns into a 45-minute conversation. The good news? You somehow still finish the assignment.
Mostly E’s
Location: Commons 211
Your personality type: The Strategic Student
You always seem to have a plan.
You’ve mastered the art of getting work done before class, between classes, and during any random hour in your schedule. Productivity isn’t a goal, but a lifestyle.
Mostly F’s
Location: Library Field Room
Your personality type: The Library Purist
You found the most classic library-looking room on campus and immediately thought, “Yep. This feels right.”
Wooden tables, classic lamps, and serious study energy. You’re not here to hang out. You’re here to get things done.
Mostly G’s
Location: Individual Study Pods
Your personality type: The Lock-in Legend
When it’s time to focus, you disappear.
You enter the pod, put your headphones on, and emerge hours later with half your semester completed. Friends may text, notifications may arrive, but you’re on DND, and you will not be responding until you’re done.
So, did we nail it or what?
All jokes aside, please remember to take these results with a grain of salt. What do we know? Plus, we highly recommend regularly switching up your study spaces to keep things exciting. Variety is the spice of life.
