Meet Alex, a second-year Engineering student who often finds themselves immersed in the hustle and bustle of campus life. Known for their candid honesty, Alex has a knack for spotting the quirks of university culture. Having moved to Waterloo from a small town, they’re still adjusting to city living and often hang out with friends late into the night, sharing stories about the more mysterious aspects of their surroundings. Recently, they’ve become particularly wary of the less-than-stellar reputation of 34 Laurel, a building that serves as a reminder that not every corner of campus is as welcoming as it seems.
