Adam House

To me Adam House is a building you only go for exams and careers fairs!
For exams it is very daunting indeed. As you try not to get too stressed before the exam you start to worry what floor your exam is on! Is the ground floor actually the first floor? What was the name of the exam? During exam season it is full of worried looking students, and rightly so. The exam halls take me back to the seventies in their décor, and their exam tables are always wobbly and tacky!
Apart from exams the building is also used for plays by student societies over the years and it is also used during the Fringe. However, I have never been to this place during the Fringe, but I am sure the common stressful atmosphere of students is not present then!
The building needs freshened up in the inside to inspire students before exams I feel, I hate its dull, tired walls and this reflects onto the students before exams!

Adam House is kind of an interesting building. Like George Square Lecture Theatre, it is used for torture (moreso than GS) and for pleasure. This is the place where they cramp all the students into large rooms to sit through 3-​hour long exams. So, for ages, I was very much anti-​Adam House. But during the festival it gets taken over by C-​venues (I think it’s C-​venues) and during the academic year, they use the basement theatre for shows and stuff.
I’ve been a few times to watch some shows. One show was so bad I didn’t know whether it was supposed to be funny or not. And I’m fairly certain I kept laughing at the bits that weren’t supposed to be funny because they were the ones that seemed most humorous.
The theatre space is actually pretty cool. It’s all red and velvety. It really really looks out of place in that building, though.
