Top Study Locations On Campus
There are many unique areas on campus that are optimal for studying as finals approach.
For some, studying at home can be tedious due to the many household distractions. For those who need to study elsewhere, there are multiple places on campus that are made for a student to study at.
Recommended by Green River student Anthony Greenlee, the Student Union is the easiest spot to access. “There’s the cafeteria for food, and you’ve got the bookstore right at your feet,” Greenlee said.
The Student Union, while a good central area to study, is a spot for those who are comfortable working with lots of background noise and potential visual distractions.
The bookstore provides sources of snacks and textbooks for those who need to take a quick break and rejuvenate from studying. One could either study with a rather large group at the provided circle table or even study upstairs in the Diversity Office for a secluded area.
If the Student Union doesn’t suit a student’s tastes, then the third floor of the Science Center is also available. There is a large window that casts a wonderful view directly beside the building’s study area.
Another GRC student, Nawal Ahmed, gave their personal opinion on this location by saying, “I used to have a class [in the Science Center] and there’s a study area with a window. It’s so beautiful.”
This location is very relaxing, especially because it is in a quieter environment than other areas.
Another great location available to the student body is the library near the Student Union. There, many quiet locations and an abundance of information is accessible.
There are cubicles for those who study at a different personal pace. There are also a series of computers for students who need to use them. Study rooms that don’t require reservations are also available to the GRC student body to use.
When coming up the stairs, the right side of the library provides a quiet environment with tables scattered along the walls and grouped together. This could be a great place for different people to study as well. The library also provides a tutoring and information center to students who seek help in their studies.
Both floors of the library provide a closed off room meant to be completely silent. This could be helpful for research. Inside are computers that students are allowed to use.
With such a great amount of resources and areas available right on campus, anyone has the ability to be successful in their courses. As finals are nearly a month away, now would be the time to take advantage of these resources.
