Does your college need a 'cry closet'?

Forget puppies, this is the future.

IT’S TOO LATE for UCD thesis guy, but could we start seeing ‘cry closets’ cropping up in Irish colleges?

University of Utah’s @aJackieLarsen shared a photo of The Cry Closet on Twitter, built by artist and fellow student Nemo Miller. Students can relieve tears for 10 minutes at a time in the library.

Is this what colleges resort to when they run out of stress relief puppies?

Some students thought it was a great idea, suggesting some other departments where one was needed.

Project Maths is enough to make anyone cry, in fairness.

However, some people speculated on how the closet might be used for other things other than crying.

Miller was pretty happy with the generally positive response to the art installation though

Would you use a cry closet if there was one in your school/college?
