Bookstore
Guide: Katy Flint, freshman

The Scoop: Barnes & Noble moved from its
tucked-away location in Archangelus Ballroom
to the main floor of the University Center. It has
a little bit of everything, including the latest in
official Saints gear. Need a bestseller? Book it
for your next visit.
Why Katy Likes It: “I work here, which is
great. I love all the staff that works here. My
mom is the manager so I get to work with her
every day. I really like the supply wall. The fact
that everything is organized makes it easier to
find and it makes it easier to stock. And we
have air conditioning, which is great.”

SHU Shop
Guide: Angel Cooper, sophomore

The Scoop: The new official snack shop offers
fresh and pre-prepared food items and a full
array of Starbucks Coffee products. Weekday
mornings are fun again on campus. And the
$6 large pizza deal is hard to beat.
Why Angel Likes It: “I come here probably
every day. Campus is now like its own little
town and you come here and get coffee or
a smoothie. It’s just so convenient for it to
be on campus.”

Guide: John Jaso, freshman

Why John Likes It: “I spend all my life here.
Four or five hours (a day). I like the feel of it.
It’s homey. I have a locker here.”

Clock Tower
Guide: Rebecca Roberts, sophomore

The Scoop: Now one of the most prominent
features on campus – both visually and acoustically—it has become the “alarm clock” for
students. And yes, the bells chime on the
half-hour. Don’t be late for class!
Why Rebecca Likes It: “You can see it all
the way in the art building, and I know what
time it is. I can hear (the chimes) all the way
behind the Nursing Building during band
(practice) so we know when we are allowed
to leave.”

Guide: Najee Brazzle, junior

The Scoop: The stone oven produces some
of the freshest pizza around. It is an early hit
with student diners. The topping combinations
are endless. Don’t forget the pasta station
around the corner.
Why Najee Likes It: “I get the pizza every
time I come. I usually get the pepperoni pizza.
It’s my favorite. It has a lot of flavors. You can
see them cooking the pizza. It’s pretty nice.”

Commuter Lounge

The Scoop: A much-needed space for SHU’s
commuter student population, this cozy area
has locker rooms, a kitchen and a place to
nuke meals in a jiffy. No more sitting in the
car waiting for the next class.

Hearth Stone Oven

Fire Pit & Patio
Guide: Tayler Thelen, junior

The Scoop: An outdoor dining option that
can almost be used year around—as long
as the fire pit is operational. It is becoming
the “back porch” of SHU. Who’s got the
marshmallows?
Why Tayler Likes It: “The fireplace is a
good mutual meeting spot for students on
campus to get-together and do homework
or just relax. The chairs are unique. They are
kind of relaxing. The fire out here radiates a
lot of heat. It feels like you are at home when
you are around the fire.”
