The results
Mainly A: Waterstones café
You’re in Waterstones. It’s not far from your central college and has a similar feel to a library as you’re surrounded by books so you can still be the neek you’ve always been. However, the vibes are much nicer and the toasties are infinitely better.
Mainly B: Caffé Nero
You’re working in Caffé Nero and definitely study humanities. Sure, you have to pick between an armchair or charging your laptop, but you won’t be there long enough for it to matter.
Mainly C: Gail’s
You’re working in Gails, just like you did in your A Levels when you weren’t at the British Library – hello Londoner!
Mainly D: College buttery/ café
You just looove your college so why would you ever leave? At the college café, you can see your friends walking through, get super discounted prices, and procrastinate to the max.
Mainly E: Spoons
You’re working in Spoons. The answer as to why is obvious: you get free coffee or tea refills, good (cheap) food, and a pint is never far away.
Mainly F: Hot Numbers
Hello art historian/ architect. You need that caffeine fix and Hot Numbers is just opposite the department, making it the perfect spot. Yes, it’s £5 a coffee, but you just can’t be away from studio that long. Plus, Hot Numbers for a hot person just makes sense.
