A campus is designed to shove as many paying members into as small a space as possible. It's impossible to get away so you have to make sure there is somewhere you can go *to* to get away *from* because you will have myriad situations and people which will require occasional escape, including people you like. The library, the listening room and the local coffee shop seem ok for awhile, and they are good in bad weather if you can truly hide there, but they won't last for long because people will learn to find you there.
I was much more fun to be around once I had put an hour to myself on my schedule every week. And learned not to bring any work with me which kinda defeated the purpose.
