    Don't wait outside at night for the OwLoop shuttle. You can check the status from inside at http://tumobile.temple.edu/shuttle on your smartphone or http://www.temple.edu/cs/shuttle on a computer.

    Make sure to keep convos down, even though the 2nd floor lounge might seem like a social area, signs are posted that its a study facility. Be quiet and be respectful.

    If you're going to sit at a computer with your laptop open right in front of it; don't.

    The rules for finding a computer during finals week are the same for finding a parking spot during Black Friday: You snooze, you lose.

    Hidden Mac room in the back is not only quiet and perfect in every way, but it's... Wait for it... Wait for it... WARM!

    Don't bring your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack to the tech center. Food is not allowed in the lab. You may eat in the lounge area by the stairs.

    One of the largest computer labs in the country and most of our residents and staff utilize this place regularly because we are so close.

    The comfy seats in the purple section are the absolute worst for wifi reception. Connection is so slow and everything is prone to time outs.

    There's an additional mac section way in the back against Montgomery. There's also a few macs in the middle if the front PC section.

    Don't be naïve. Just because you've been sitting next to someone for 10 minutes doesn't mean you've built up enough rapport for them to watch your stuff.

    Stop blasting shitty music out of your headphones. They didn't invent headphones for you to try to turn them into speakers.
