Let's face it, unless you're a closet nerd like myself, the only time you're concerned with where to study is during finals week.
I cannot study unless there are comfortable chairs and pleasant surroundings; I am thoroughly convinced that the quality of study is directly proportional to the quality of the cushion in your chair.

Some places you'd never think of and some buildings you've probably never been in, but they're all excellent places to study (most have comfy chairs).

Here are 10 vegetarian-friendly places in downtown State College to save you from the HUB's salad bar and veggie dip.
