For my group’s Columbus To-Do List assignment, we were originally going to go to dinner at the Fox in the Snow cafe. Our schedules kept conflicting with each other, and it took a while for us to finally decide to go on Sunday, November 3rd. However, we forgot that it closed at 5 on Sundays, and decided instead on going to The Roaming Goat coffee shop. It was a really cute coffee place, with a main cafe room and a separate library-type room off to the side where students can study. The only negative about the experience was that it was cold, and we had to sit outside because there were no more chairs left inside.
From this experience, I learned that even though I don’t have to go off campus at all during my time at OSU, I should at least go and explore the surrounding area. Who knows, maybe I’ll find my new favorite place to study one day when I’m walking around downtown Columbus!
If I ever get the chance to go back to The Roaming Goat coffee shop, I definitely will. The atmosphere was so homey, and it was so warm and cozy (and it smelled amazing). It was a little bit loud, but I wouldn’t mind going there to study one afternoon, provided that I remember to bring my noise-cancelling headphones!
