Name: Michael Bateman on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The CoHo was a great venue for small arts groups to perform while getting a coffee. It had a comfortable, hipster vibe and comfy chairs. Watching performances in the Axe & Palm is like watching art in a campus Dining Hall - there's something missing.Flag

Name: Jeff Trevino on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The CoHo closed I graduated from Stanford in 2005, and I can't imagine the campus without it. It's the only sort of lounge/cafe space on campus that doesn't feel like it's run by some giant company to make money (that is, where you feel comfortable crashing with your friends for a whole afternoon to study and keep warm instead of just buying something, consuming it, and leaving). If the CoHo doesn't come back, the university should consider an equivalent space. The campus is isolated enough as it is, and I remember, when I was touring the campus before choosing to attend, that older students listed just the CoHo as a good public place to go on campus to hang out. What gives How can such a careful, attentive university administration be completely unaware of the institutions on its campus that matter to student lifeFlag

Name: Muzammal Ashraf on Dec 6, 2007Comments: TAP sucks. It is and will never be as good as the CoHo was. It is only a shadow of CoHo's ambience. It is like another late night. We don't want that. We want Co Ho with its dull lighting, live music, large TV, cozy seats. Please bring back Co HoFlag

Name: Anonymous on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The CoHo was one of the few places on campus I felt I could relax while studying. I didn't feel the pressure to get out as soon as I am doing eating like I do at the Axe and Palm. The CoHo was conducive to studying, socializing, sleeping, and just kicking back and enjoying the atmosphere. Plus, you can't beat the crepes that were served.Flag

Name: AnhViet Tran on Dec 6, 2007Comments: I remember my admit weekend was spent meeting new people and making friends in the cozy CoHo environment. I remember listening to music and sipping coffee. The CoHo is a place that is unique and dear to Stanford students, please bring it back.Flag

Name: Sini Matikainen on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The CoHo was a beloved institution that can never be replaced by the Axe and Palm. Although the Axe and Palm's new leather couches and well-lit spaces are nice, they can't compare to the atmosphere of the CoHo. At the CoHo you run into people -- at the Axe and Palm you keep to yourself. The crepes were great but the atmosphere was even better (moving the crepes to Lag Late night is a poor replacement).Flag

Name: Natalie Knutsen on Dec 6, 2007Comments: Like many others on campus, I enjoyed the CoHo for the creative atmosphere that it inspired. Whether it be art displays, bands or other types of performances, the CoHo was a breeding ground for creative minds. I miss performing there, meeting the people who just happened to wander in, running into old friends... There are plenty of places to "work" on campus. The CoHo was a place where people would go to pretend to work but only actually work when there was nothing better to do. I miss that...mainly because at the CoHo, there was always something better to do.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The CoHo had atmosphere and style. The Axe and Palm looks like a diner. I will never be able to just hang out at TAP. Being so isolated from the rest of the area, Stanford sorely lacks places for students to hang out at that are so prominent in other unviersity towns, and we need to CoHo for student life!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Dec 6, 2007Comments: As many have said and i will reiterate, the atmosphere at the CoHo was great and is a crucial part of student life. The TAP which was put in place to replace the coho is far different. There is excessive lighting and the layout doesn't work as well. The coffee at the coho was not too great though, i prefer TAPs coffeeFlag

Name: Anonymous on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The CoHo was a nice warm, friendly place to study without too much noise. It is a lot cozier than the axe and palm. The Old Union study area has become a silent zone rather than a quite conversation one. Also the music played at Axe and Palm on Wednesdays is extremely loud and distracting. For the most part I don't remember the music at CoHo being quite so loud because it was a smaller space and people adjusted their amps for that. I also miss the Vanilla Chai from CoHo and especially their crepes. CoHo had a lived-in feel and Old Union is just a bit too sterile. And I can't study in libraries because they're too quiet and people glare at you if you so much as unzip your backpack (with the exception of the Music Library, which is awesome). Dorms Too hard to focus.Flag

Name: Rafael Wabl on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The Coho was one of the only comfortable and relaxing late-night spaces on campus. It served great food and coffee, and had a wonderful atmosphere that fostered discussion. No other on-campus eateries compare to it--the atmosphere of the Axe-and-Palm is sterile and unoriginal, Moonbeans closes by 10pm, and Tresidder is never open late. So, that leaves only the Coho if one wants to grab a cup of coffee in a nice spot after 10pm, while sitting comfortably and listening to some local live music. Re-open it!Flag

Name: Alexandra Pintchouk on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The Coho was a unique place for students to gather in a fun and light atmosphere to either study, work on group projects, enjoy a break from school, or listen to musical and poetic talents. I don't remember how many times I went there to work with friends or by myself and had the pleasure of listening to a band or musician that was playing there that night. The coffeehouse atmosphere was the perfect setting with just enough noise for those that do not work well in silence. The dim lighting and the smells were like none other around campus and are something I truly miss. I find myself now going off campus, which is inconvenient without a car, for a coffeehouse that was like the coho. The Axe and Palm is not the same at all and does not have the same comfortable and interesting ambiance. I remember the Coho being packed on weeknights and such a popular place. I was extremely sad when it was shut down before my senior year and wish that it were still around. I think it is a special part of Stanford and should be available to all future generations.Flag

Name: Venkat Srinivasan on Dec 6, 2007Comments: In short, there is something to be said for a cozy, dim-lit atmosphere. One can even consider opening it up as a space that doesn't 'sell' anything - just a meeting space with the atmosphere recreated.Flag

Name: Naveen Agrawal on Dec 6, 2007Comments: The CoHo was by far the closest Stanford came to anything with it's own genuine culture and life. Every part of our campus distinctly shows Stanford character, but the CoHo added color to this character with its live shows, ambience, and its food (which, as most students will agree, was far better than the more anonymous, cafeteria food of the CoHo's replacement). To bring back the CoHo would be to prove that Stanford can show color and character, and, indeed, is not afraid of doing so.Flag
