Throughout the month of Ramadan, U-High room C121 offers a quiet refuge from the sight, sounds and smells of lunch for Muslim students observing Ramadan.
Junior Samara Arain, who spends some of her lunch periods in C121, said, “It’s just a space for people who are fasting to come and just like hang out so that we don’t have to, like be around people who are eating food, if that like bothers some people.”
