College Square Station

The College Square station is a location in the Commonwealth $$ It is the subway station under College Square, filled with feral ghouls and dead raiders.

Layout
Upon entering, the first sublevel consists of a small room with some broken elevators to the south and stairs to the north. There are some feral ghoul and raider corpses littering the area. Also to the north, near a raider body, is a tripwire trap hooked up to a makeshift bomb attached to a trash can. There is an ammo box near another raider corpse hidden behind some debris.

Going down the stairs brings one to the second sublevel, which opens into a larger room with restrooms to the southwest and southeast, countertops with registers to the west, east, and north, and stairs down to the northwest and northeast. There are five feral ghouls on this level, in the east restroom, the west register area, and near the west stairs. There is also an Expert-locked door on the north end of the room which leads behind the counter to a Protectron, a Novice terminal, and Live & Love issue #2 on top of a safe.

One can go down either set of stairs to reach the platforms below. Taking the east set of stairs leads to a platform with at least four feral ghouls roaming the area. From the bottom of the stairs, there is a Novice-locked utility room to the south and access to the tracks to the north. A feral ghoul can be found at the far northern end of the tracks feeding on a raider corpse. Taking the west set of stairs leads to the opposing platform, with another four or five feral ghouls wandering around. To the north is a small hallway followed by an Advanced-locked door, both of which lead to a storeroom where a leveled feral ghoul awaits along with a steamer trunk of loot and the College Square Station key. To the south of the stairs is another Protectron and pod with a Novice terminal and access to the tracks.
