The Fireside Lounge is
always a place for Bucks students
to relax-from video
games to foosball, this is the
place to unwind between
classes.
The lounge is nothing
extravagant; it’s just a good
place to play games, sleep or
just chill with friends.
Some people who can put
up with the noise may even
study there.
When asked how he would
describe the lounge, student
Dave Bracken said it’s a constant
party.
Student Life Director Matt
Cipriano said there are occasional
problems with the
noise levels and graffiti.
Furniture is commonly
damaged, which causes
Student Life to buy new
chairs and sofas for the
lounge.
Although not an act of vandalism,
the common-use
leads to wear and tear.
Cipriano said new furniture
will be added to the
lounge, as well as a new carpet
and coat of paint.
Renovations to the lounge
will, however, be the last to
be done among many
around campus.
Over the years Cipriano
has seen the Fireside Lounge
go through many changes,
physical and intangible-
whether used mainly for
gaming, sleeping or studying,
the room’s atmosphere
is affected.
Recently the lounge has
added several televisions for
movie watching, game playing
or TV watching.
Its popularity varies as the
semesters and seasons
change.
As the weather turns,
more students head indoors
during class breaks and one
of the best places to go is
somewhere sociable and
fun.
Cipriano agreed. “If you’re
looking for people, that’s
where you’ll find them.”
