The study lounge is usually a safe sanctuary for those who have been sexiled from their rooms. But in case students in heat have taken over the lounges, too, here are 10 alternatives for under $10.
Letts-Anderson Quad
Armed with a fresh pack of cigarettes, you'll be making friends in no time. And who knows? Maybe you'll be the one to do the sexiling later in the evening. Under $5 for cigarettes at nearby convenience stores.
Make a sexile kit
If you are sexiled so often you can't even remember where you live, it might be a good idea to put together a Sexile Survival Kit. Stock up on playing cards, snack foods, magazines and any other items that will help to pass the time. Various costs.
Impromptu trip to CVS
Hop onto a shuttle and head over to CVS, where aisles upon aisles of snack foods and body products will tempt you with their goodness. Various, 4555 Wisconsin Ave.

Domino's delivery
For $8.99, you can get the AU special on a large thin crust pizza. The pizza serves four, so share with any other sexiled residents you can find. $8.99, call (202) 362-7500 for delivery.
Subway sandwich
If Subway is still open, grab a sandwich and watch television in Mary Graydon Center. It's been said the couches make cozy makeshift beds. Under $6 for a meal.
