Great library . Visit if for the architecture . Remember that the higher you go, the quieter it is.
The Geisel Library houses the world’s largest collection of original Dr . Suess manuscripts and other materials. Dr. Seuss (Ted Geisel) was a one-time resident of La Jolla.
Great place to study now, outlets are abundant and very quiet . Even a couple study rooms available with whiteboards.
Sitting at the top west side will likely blind you for most of the afternoon, but be sure to take a study break and check out the last few minutes of sunset .
Wi-Fi is completely unusable during final weeks.
See the sunset from the eight floor it's really beautiful, but be really quiet up there.
I just had to see this building! It is so cool!
GIS lab is downstairs to the left when you enter. Higher floors are great for studying since the view is a nice distraction.
There are self-checkout stations, with the book thumper and everything. Significantly more fun than at the grocery store .
Check out some of the original Dr. Seuss manuscripts on floor 2!
There's a lot of desks with power outlets , which I like. Some do not work, the individual desks on the end for example.
If you're on the upper levels and people are chit chatting and talking loud ~ don't hesitate to tell them to grow up and stfu.
24 hour access for grad students. Sign up for a card at the desk.
The only reason why a tourist would go to UCSD. Breathtaking!
Ah, yes. The crown jewel of the campus.
Sometimes it's just nice to go up to the top of Geisel and enjoy the views without studying .
Top is known to be crazy quiet but bottom floors are group whisper to light talk friendly .
Visit the arts library downstairs and wAtch a movie .
Summer hours: open at 7:30am most days, close 8-10pm weekdays.
