Best Places To Study Around Campus

Best Places To Study Around Campus

It’s finals week! Which means that the library is extra packed and it can be hard to find a good place to study. Here are a few good alternatives to the library:

1. An empty classroom. Loyola leaves the classrooms unlocked until about 11:30ish at night. So as long as it is after normal class hours this will guarantee some peace and quiet to really crank out the studying.

2. USGA Office. Not very many people know about it, but USGA opens up their office that is in the student union to anyone who needs a quiet place to study.  It is also right by Rambler Room so you will not have to travel far to get a snack!

3. The Stacks. Looking to really seclude yourself from the outside world? Then the stacks in the library are for you. It may take a little wandering around to find the perfect place, but most likely you will find a desk surrounded by stacks of books with no one else around.

4. A Friends Room. CAUTION: this will only work if you are both committed to studying! But if you are, it can be the perfect environment to get a lot done. A friends room will not be stuffy and uncomfortable like other places might be. Be careful though! It can also be easiest to get distracted in this environment.

5. Center Stage Cafe in Mundelein. The cafe in Mundelein can be a great place to study if you are not looking for a silent study area but are afraid of the seductive powers your bed in your room has. It also is right across the hall from the cafe so you can load up on the snacks and get buckets of coffee.
