Canterbury is officially an Episcopal church, but there's much more to it than just that. It is the home of about 20 students (if you're just counting the regulars). All week they make it their base camp as they come and go from classes, clubs, and events. Some people feel more at home there than others, leaving their dirty dishes and clothes all over the place. It's usually not very messy, though. Conversation topics range from theology to comic books to cooking to humanitarian issues. Each person has their own quirks and interests. The differences in all of the people really tie us together more.
Canterbury isn't the best for studying during the day because of all of the traffic in and out and all of the people talking around you. Most nights after 10 or 11 it quiets down enough to get work done, though. While you can find people there late at night, no one ever really chooses to sleep there (unless it's an afternoon nap); it's an old building with strange noises.

Oh, what a great sense of place you have conveyed here, Gretchen, both with the lovely image (!) and also your description of it. That's great! I really love the way people are covering a whole range of places in these posts, some close to home, and some far away. Thanks for sharing this; if you have any event announcements or something like that from Canterbury for me to share via the class announcements, just let me know! :-)
