I went to gateway in my 40’s. Study where ever you want. If you are a little older than undergrad - people might think you are a grad student or working remote? But going to gateway is something to be proud about! Take your spot and don’t be ashamed.

Now - any panera is good. Koffee. What about the ikea cafeteria? In ikea you can refill uour coffee. You can stay all day - the only bad thing is the bathroom is a hike. Starbucks in branford. Guilford panera? Try the town libraries. For that matter - what about the gateway library? Or is it just too busy? East haven, branford, guilford - all great libraries. The used book coffee place on chapel is good. You’d be surprized - but in a pinch a mcdonalds or dunkin can work too. They both have wifi! The dunkin in branford on exit 56 - not a bad place to try out. Cafe romeo too.
