North by Northwestern has revealed a way to navigate your way out of the Death Star we often refer to as the university library.

"To a visitor, the library might seem like a monstrous, gray maze. Step into the center of the circular tower rooms and you’re surrounded by bookshelves, with no exit in sight. But there’s a clue: The aisle with solid carpeting leads out of the labyrinth."

Why don't they ever write that in the orientation guides? This is life-altering knowledge that all freshies should know, especially as midterms are approaching and they begin to lock themselves up in the Ministry of Love.

According to the article, architect Walter Netsch wasn't too concerned about incorporating enough restrooms into the original design. Also missing? Common practicality as to how a library should be designed for the sake of sanity.

Interesting fact: some of the women's restrooms have adjacent "napping rooms." They come equipped with a nasty bed for when you want to take a little nap. Uhh.
