Some of the best study spots are those that you find yourself! This plaza, located between Carleton Auditorium, Grinter Hall, and Walker Hall, is a great place to study if you're looking for a place outside. Even though it's located near one of the more populated areas of campus (mostly between classes), this plaza has several tables and benches and is relatively secluded from the traffic that runs nearby. This is a great place to study (or just hang out) on a sunny day and is fit for people of all study types!
Because this area doesn't have an official name (as far as we know), we called this the Plaza of Penguins [because everyone forgets about Antarctica] and there is a wall following the path next to the plaza, which we named the Great Wall of Antarctica [following the theme from before]. Ah, our random tangents...
Fun Fact:
A slight detour from this particular area, the area on the Plaza of the Americas with the brick walkway is constructed using the original bricks.
Study Tip 5: Take a break!
It's sometimes easy to get really caught up in studying and forget to take a break once in a while. Try to take breaks every hour or so. It doesn't have to be much, but you'll retain more information if you're not sitting in front of a textbook or computer for 6 hours straight. Walk around a bit or grab a coffee: take a break!
