Here are some of my favorite places to hang out at the College.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. My dorm room<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Honestly, I love just relaxing in my dorm room. I cherish my alone time, and this is the perfect place for me to fulfill that need. My room is really cozy, and I love making a cup of tea and just relaxing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holycross.edu\/faith-service\/office-college-chaplains\/about\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Campion House (the Chaplains\u2019 Office)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I absolutely love hanging out in Campion! It really does feel like a house, which helps with homesickness, and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holycross.edu\/faith-service\/office-college-chaplains\/meet-chaplains\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chaplains<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are amazing people. Students can make appointments with a Chaplain to just talk with them or to get spiritual direction, if desired. My favorite thing about Campion, though, would have to be the freshly baked cookies! Each day, student workers make batches of cookies for Holy Cross students to enjoy. On Thursdays, they make vegan cookies, and on Fridays, they offer gluten free ones! This is amazing for me since I cannot eat gluten. I always look forward to swinging by Campion to pick up some cookies every Friday. Other than the cookies, Campion is a really mellow and relaxing place on campus, and it provides the perfect atmosphere to study or just relax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holycross.edu\/campus-life\/dining\/locations-menus-hours\/cool-beans\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cool Beans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Hogan<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The area by Cool Beans on the first floor of Hogan is another one of my favorites. I enjoy grabbing a cup of coffee and working on my homework. There is a strong sense of community in this spot because students, faculty, and staff gravitate toward it, which brings us all together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Fenwick porch and study area on 2nd floor of Fenwick<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These two spots on campus are wonderful for taking pictures of sunsets and just amazing pictures of the Holy Cross campus overall. Especially during fall, the campus is even more beautiful. They are also great spots to study, particularly on the porch, which is really peaceful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, Holy Cross has many spots on campus that foster a sense of community, which creates the perfect atmosphere to study or relax!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-10.48.00-AM-769x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-10.48.00-AM-769x1024.png 769w, https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-10.48.00-AM-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-10.48.00-AM-768x1023.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-10.48.00-AM.png 1074w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunset from Fenwick porch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-3.54.24-PM-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-3.54.24-PM-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-3.54.24-PM-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-3.54.24-PM-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/juliamaher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-25-at-3.54.24-PM.png 1340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gluten free cookies in Campion House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many great places to study and relax at Holy Cross \u2014 it\u2019s no surprise that we have a beautiful campus!
