The student took advantage of the reduced surveillance to spend the past week and a half living in the library permanently. Armed with canned foods, a kettle to make warm drinks and a sleeping bag, the student has manipulated the present library inconveniences to their advantage.

Nice april fools article. Its a shame that it mocks people who work hard to get into York and then work hard to get good marks in topics they find challenging. The bus one is a lot more fun!

Thanks for reading! Just to clarify that this is a joke article and no one has been found living in the library... yet...
