Head upstairs to the quiet third floor and grab table by the windows for a great view during breaks. Or grab one of the computers- the Macs have all of the Adobe CS6 Programs!

Kelsey Weiss

It can get crowded and noisy , but you can get coffee and snacks at Java City then make your way to a silent floor to study. The digital production area is great for group work with Adobe design suite.

Ashley

Java hunt is located in the basement and is a great pick me up while studying. During midterms it gets really crowded and hard to find a quit seat to study.

The best kept secret is the 4M floor. Usually not crowded and is a silent floor . Great for studying for large tests or finals.

Patricia Clark

Want a quiet floor to study on go to 4M. Gorgas library stays open until 2am every night except Friday and Saturday.

Brian Hoff

If you have a group project in any class , this is where you will meet. I promise you. It never fails and for good reason: space.

Joi Jackson

The second floor has rooms that you can conduct private study sessions, but the group must consist of at least three people to reserve it.

McKenzie Pope

Like coffee , but don't like the wait? Check out Java City in Gorgas for your daily caffeine fix!

Courtney Mims

No drink machines and the coffee shop closes at 2:30 in the summer. If you're thirsty bring your own drink or you'll be drinking from the water fountain !

Andrew L

Best library on campus. They have quiet floors and floors you can talk on.

Raquel Murphy

The basement is truly the best place to study. Everyone is creeped out by it so you can be left alone.

Meg Riggs

The snacks and sour gummy bears are much cheaper in the vending machines than at the coffee shop .

Megan

Don't sit at the tables behind java city where the staircases are.. Employees always in the staircase having excessively loud conversations

Isabel Hill

Gorgas has 2.8 million volumes inside and even offers a fourth floor dedicated to being silent for students.

Nicole Murphy

many computers to use and in the center of campus

Caleb Spradley

First floor, Digital Production area , Mac Heaven... Great for all your design needs!

The cycling classes are my favorite! Be sure to get there early to reserve your pass and bring water because it's a workout! Only downside is limited parking and large crowds during peak hours. - Kelsey Weiss
