A Piece of Reese: The Best Study Spots

Everyone has to study for something, whether it’s for a test, a lab, or just homework, no matter the reason, sometimes you need peace and quiet. But what are the best places for studying? Let me tell you!

Story Library Study Room – This is the most obvious choice because it’s literally in the name and it most definitely the quietest. However, it’s boring, there’s no pizazz. If you need to seriously lock in for those midterms or finals, this is what you should go to.
Cafe 52 – While it may not be the quietest, it’s such a good vibe there. If you sit towards the back it will be quieter and you can have a snack and drink to go with your studying. If you get easily distracted though, return to the study room.
Main Story Library – This is not a good option if you get off track easily. There’s always people there playing games, having conversations, even sometimes throwing a football around. It is called a “loud library” so it’s expected. If you don’t mind the noise then sit in a comfy chair and start studying!
Toland Chapel – This place is incredibly quiet and most people forget that it’s here. The pews are honestly pretty comfortable and you can get a lot done in the isolation (just make sure it’s not reserved before you go in there).
Burgess auditorium – When chapel rehearsal, chapel, and concerts aren’t going on in here, it’s very silent. You can sit on the floor (I highly recommend it), in the chairs, up in the balcony, on the stage, or on the stairs. Just be mindful of the instruments and tech stuff and please do not touch!
Outside – Whether it’s over by the pagoda, behind Watkins, in front of Cooper, or just in the grass somewhere, studying outside can be very peaceful. It is starting to get cold and windy so bring a jacket and paper weight. Also check the weather to make sure it’s not going to rain.
Dorm Lobby – This place is notorious for playing ping pong games, watching sports on the tv, and just socializing in general. People do study and do homework here because they know they can get help from friends and then once they’re done they can hang out with friends and play board games.
Dorm/House – We all live somewhere and have a room, feel free to use it!
Dining Hall – This is only available during dining hours so I wouldn’t recommend this one unless you need to study at all hours of the day. Just a warning that it gets quite loud during meal times so be cautious.
Community Room – This room is amazing and one of my favorites to go hang out in specifically because of the chairs. Not a lot of people go in here so it does stay pretty quiet but sometimes people go in there to play foosball or board games so be weary of that.
