Where is the best place to get work done on campus?

Katie

Whenever I have a bunch of homework I usually go to the engineering library or the computer lab. They are both usually pretty quiet so I can concentrate but at the same time they have big tables so I can work with all my friends. During finals week I'll try and reserve a study room so that I can have a room all to myself and be able to study real hard for my finals without any distractions.

The best place to get work done on campus, particularly homework, is definitely not in your room. Hale Library is a great place or even just a quiet room. In the residence halls, there are usually rooms in the basement like the piano room or the study room where getting work done actually happens. If I do homework in my room, I'll get distracted with something else or even fall asleep.

Hale Library is in a great place to study! Engineers also have Fiedler Library. There are always lounges, lobbies, and other places to get work done

Library! The entire first floor is a quiet study area as well as the great room on the third floor nicknamed "The Harry Potter" room due to it's large echoey environment. Now, if you need to get a group project done the second floor is the floor for you. This is the "noisy" floor during finals week because group discussion is allowed. This is also where we have our collaboration stations where students can have a blocked off cubicle section for their group to meet. If you're the student who like their own study cubby we have study nooks available on a first come first serve basis. All there places combined with the library help staff there to serve students from 8am-10pm make the library the ideal place to get work done on campus.

The best place, by far, to get work done on campus is Hale library. It is located in the center of campus, by design, so students can get to it relatively quickly from any building on campus. Especially in the frigid months of January and February, it's a relief to have a huge warm building to run to in between classes for a 30 minute study break.
