I might have to go back and observe and take notes on how the girls act while in the study lounge, both when it is study hours and when it is social hours. I need to take notes on what the girl's habits are while studying.

The study lounge on the fifth floor is not very big at all. It always smells like old man and is probably the most outdated of all the study lounges. The carpet is most likely from the 60's with it's green and brown diamond pattern. It is always hot in there due to no air conditioning. The fans help a little but only for the people the fans are facing. The noise in the study lounge is very minimal. All you ever hear during study times are keys being touched, faint music coming from headphones, and the humming of the fans and lights. When it's not study hours you will find girls in there eating together and even playing games. Also, the floor holds meeting in there once a month to discuss important floor decisions and problems and plan floor activities.
