Puppies to Help Take Some of the Bite Out of Finals Week at SSU

Salem State University students will get the chance to cuddle puppies the day before finals begin.


I know what you're thinking: "where was this when I was in college?" 

This Thursday is the Day of Reading at Salem State University, which marks the last day before final exams get underway.

In an effort to help calm those students who may have frayed nerves, the Northeast Animal Shelter has arranged for an afternoon of puppy cuddling.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Marsh Hall, SSU students will get to interact with puppies who are waiting for adoption. 

What do you think of the idea of puppy cuddling at colleges?
