They have them in universities too, apparently for parents with babies, providing quiet spaces for lectures. However, during medical school, plenty of students used them as rooms to literally cry in during exam periods (myself included).

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

Thanks for the explanation... but that's horrible how much emotional pain you and your peers had to suffer through for education :(
Not really a ‘hmmm’. Not sure how widely-used the term is in non-church settings, but this is the room where you take children who start crying during a church service. It’s intended to be a place for them to calm down and/or the parent to get control. It can also be the room where nursing mothers feed their babies.
