Tired of ending up sitting at a table with strangers?

Below we have outlined three definitive steps to guarantee that you never end up alone in Atwater again with
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Atwater

Your Timing

Timing is vital to surviving Atwater. Due to its limited capacity, seats fill up quickly, especially during peak lunch hours. Our recommendation is leaving class 5 to 30 minutes early to ensure you avoid the lunch rush.

CHoosing a Table

It is imperative that you identify and claim a table before you grab your food. Doing so guarantees that you don't end up standing dumbfounded in the center of the dining hall doing that awkward scan of the room, desperately looking for a familiar head.

Making the Move

When all else fails, your last resort should be to walk up to an occupied table and do the old "is anyone sitting here" trick. The key to not getting rejected is to find a mostly full table of jocks who will pay no attention to you as you quickly gobble down your meal.

OUR GOAL

Making sure You feel confident in Atwater dining!
