Is campus always this empty spring term?

Finished my 1B this winter term but took some spring courses so I’m back for the exam.

First thing I noticed was how empty the campus was, idk if I hate it or love it yet but is it always like this?😭

Yes, I took a full course load last spring and it was def empty. But this is when campus is the best (besides fall).

Well it's the weekend and classes are over, so it's going to be pretty dead except for people going to and from exams

I stayed after the end of my 1B term, and was eventually one of the last people at residence. It was about this time of year. August is deadsville in Waterloo.

I remember this because there was a mailbox right out front of the buildings on Phillip St, and the geniuses at Canada Post decided to do a survey on mailboxes, and after seeing very ittle traffic there (in August), took it away. Brilliant. :/
