Studying in your dorm coffee shop
For some time we have been told that there are at least three types of learners: auditory (just listening to people talk gets those facts locked away), visual (slides and aides make the world go round) and kinesthetic (if you could be dancing, you'd probably learn better). I'd like to suggest a fourth: the coffee house learner.
In this era of mustaches, single speed bikes, and people claiming to be the only person who knows a particular band, coffee shops have become a popular haven for many activities. Their welcoming atmosphere, and the fact that they sell liquid that removes 'tired' from your system, allows for a study environment that, for some, is bar none exactly what they need.
But what happens when you don't want to be told about that band you "probably" don't know, or be told by someone that they "literally have no money" and then watching them buy the most expensive drink on the menu, but you crave the ambiance.
Theres a website for that!
That's right coffee shop hounds! Now, you can get all the sounds and feels of being in a coffee shop, from the comfort of your dorm room!
HipsterSound is still fairly new, so it only offers three coffee shop venues. Once started, you're instantly transported to a totally unknown coffee shop (you probably haven't heard of it), where you're comforted by the familiar clinks of ceramic mugs and the senseless chatter of other cafe goers.
There is an on-screen option to raise or lower the sound, which initially seems somewhat pointless, but because it is designed to act as an ambiance it actually comes in handy for if you want to listen to a lecture and also simulate the sound. It also comes in handy for if you'd like to maybe add the sounds of a cozy fireplace or add some traffic in the background to make you feel like you're on a busy street corner. Which you can actually do straight from the site itself!
The current options are: Piano bar, Open-air bistro, Street corner cafe, and Rainy Terrace. All wonderful additions to your chosen, totally unique, no-one-else-has-ever-heard-of-it cafe. The site actually even has an option to download a bundle of all their backgrounds and sounds, for free, under the terms that you don't sell, share, or redistribute to third parties.
With dead week upon us, and finals week looming in it's shadow, if you're looking for a quaint little coffee shop to study in, why not make it your dorm room!
