There are many good things about Georgia Tech, but coffee is not one of them. On campus, after 3pm, it's almost impossible to find coffee. I find this utterly baffling.

My seminar this term meets 2-5pm Wednesdays. We take a break around 3:30. The coffee stand in the student center closes at 4, so this hasn't been a problem before. Today we took our break a bit later, around 3:40, and the stand was closed already (?).

The remaining restaurant was open, but served no coffee.

The commons cafeteria was open, and had vats of coffee, but it was cold.

The Dunkin' Donuts just past the commons cashiers was closed.

The only remaining source of caffeine in the vicinity would be at Jazzman's cafe in the library, but by that time the break was over. I bought a Coke.

When I was in school, coffee could be had at all hours. It was a necessity. I don't know how my students cope.
