Coffee Shop Feedback Requested: A group
of students is trying to start a coffee shop on the YDS quad and is looking for feed back
about the possible use of one of the nooks in the commuter lounge (currently being used for
storage). Recognizing
that the lounge is one of a very limited number of study
areas for students on this
campus, we are looking for feed back regarding this possible location. Please send
questions or comments or
concerns to YDScoffee@hotmail.com. Thanks, Benjamin Hopkins.
