Cupcakes, hammocks offered students during exams

Charleston, South Carolina - At 10 p.m. more than 200 students at the College of Charleston emerged from the college library and nearby streets and descended like locusts on a patio table holding boxes of cupcakes. It is final exam week at the downtown Charleston, South Carolina liberal arts school founded in 1770. Cupcakes and other snacks, massages, yoga classes, Zumba dance sessions, guided meditation and peer counseling are offered to stressed-out students. Earlier students found puppies from a local shelter to cuddle and a pancake breakfast was prepared by the college’s president.  More
