Hacks on the Student Center (W20)

The MIT Student Center is one of the few places on campus that most students go regularly, regardless of their year or major. This makes it a popular place for hacks that are specifically targeted toward the student body.

The fifth floor also contains a popular Athena computing cluster that is heavily used by students.
