Typical academic library
Gonna love it and scary if you want scary stuff or beautiful stuff
They charged $70 for turning in a camcorder for a student project several days late. They charged a separate late fee for the LENS CAP and the USB. $10+ each. That’s after I appealed it, too. Very unfair practice when students are already tight on money. This blocked me from checking out a book I needed for a midterm.

I have been using the tech desk laptop rentals, and the process is simple; however their policies are not flexible. I have a personal computer that I am no longer able to use; I have been relying on the tech desk since I have been waiting on Stanford financial aid to assist me with buying a new computer. Recently, I was forced to return a laptop, because of a policy that they must have one laptop in possession at a time. This policy has forced me to be without a laptop. I wonder how they could have left themselves with 0 laptops at the end of the day and force me to return my laptop.
Very serene environment
Great place for a quick bite or coffee
Clean, never busy, but very tiny food portions for the prices.
Quiet place, good for studying.
Even Smartin did not like it. They pretentiously called their dish curry while it was basically just ketchup.

Food is marginal. Coffee is horrible. Don't go here for espresso or espresso-based drinks. They only fill half of the portafilter for each shot... and you get a black - colored water.
Lathrop Café is decent. It has lovely staff, decent coffee, good cookies and pastries made in store, and loads of quiet space to work and talk. A lot of students and professors use it for casual interviews, working on laptops, things like that. It's clean, spacious, quiet, and friendly. The cooked food, however, is really not great. I like the breakfast sandwich, but otherwise I'd generally avoid it. I go to Lathrop a lot, but rarely eat there. I think you should do the same.
Just an okay library.
Tech lounge is badass.
The cook preparing my food did NOT wash her hands.
