Like the post above mine stressed, it should have a sense of coziness.

The commuter college I attended for a summer had a really empty cafeteria feeling sort of student center. It was in a sense a “cafeteria” since there was a small food corner but that feeling shouldn’t envelop the whole student center!

There were other doors that lead to rooms like the school bookstore where they had all your books, it was lightly decorated but still way better than what was on the other side of the wall. There was also a game room with a pool table and some Foosball tables, the walls were depressing but there were occasionally people playing in it. The other room was the lounge and all it had in there was a medium sized tv and some knocked over chairs? (I don’t know). Most of the time it was dark and closed.

I sat there after my only class so I could force myself to study, I rarely saw anyone else do anything there but eat, visit the bookstore or the game room. There really was no purpose to gather there as there weren’t any programs or anything of the sort.
