OSU: A Campus On Dead Week

This is a series of photos taken around the Oregon State University campus during week 10, or dead week. Instead of partying and getting crazy, the students flock to the library to study as much as possible before finals week. 

A welcoming sign at the southeast corner of campus on 25th and Western St.
The sign, which sits across the football stadium parking lot, is a new
addition to the campus this year.

The reading man statue, which is placed on the east side of the Valley Library
right in the center of campus.

Bicycles, a students main form of transportation. Here is the bike racks outside
of Valley Library, at full capacity due to it being dead week.

studying in. Valley Library is the mecca where students go to cram
for finals.

The student is a frequent visitor of Valley Library, to find a quite space to get school
work done.

Dead week is a relatively quite time around the campus of Oregon State. The pictures at Valley Library are taken from 10 pm to 11:30 pm, showing the commitment these students have to their school work. It is a stressful period for all students during this week. Many times at Valley Library you can hear, "Oh crap," or, "Why is this so hard," which accurately gives one the impression that finals are on the way.
