Being in college means it’s time to get serious about your study habits. Over the years, I’ve located a few great spots on campus that have gotten me through some important exams, papers and assignments. Whatever your style, there is sure to be a place that fits you and your study habits.
Alvin Sherman Library, second floor
Just up the large staircase is a lofted area of the library where I never thought I’d find myself. With access to printers and large selection of desks and chairs, I find myself here during midterms and finals. My friends usually join and it acts like a study hall. Chatter is minimal and not distracting. There is a reason why many flock to the library for their studies. You can’t beat the classic college spot. There are also study rooms available to book in case you want that extra level of peace and solitude.
The NSU Bookstore
Right across from the Alvin Sherman Library is a secret haven: the NSU Bookstore. More specifically, the fancy tables that adorn the outer area. These silver tables are equipped with chargers and outlets and a view of the library and library quad. It is a nice place to hideout when the hustle and bustle of the UC is too much.
The UC
The nooks and crannies of the UC have always been a great place to find a cozy corner. On the first floor, you can relax near the Blackbox theatre or go up one floor and find the second study area. With fun furniture and wall to wall windows, you are sure to form a habit of setting up shop here. Up on the floor are more tables and chairs fit for a student with a big exam.
Razor’s Reef
I spent nearly three years in the extended dining room area of the food court studying, eating and conversing with my friends. The UC pit, or Razor’s Reef, serves as a great place to multitask. This area is also great if you prefer a little background noise as opposed to the pin drop atmosphere of some library levels.
Outside Mako Hall
On a beautiful day, this location offers a great selection of seating areas to set down your laptop and master your courses. There are also plenty of hammocks, chairs and rocking booths tucked under the large awning, so rain or shine, you can hit the books outside. Just don’t get distracted by the Florida flora and fauna.
