If you prefer to study indoors, try out the Map and Imagery Room on the 1st floor of Marston Science Library. This is a very quiet spot to study with plenty of tables and space to spread out your materials for studying. If you do choose to study with some friends, be sure to be quiet and respect those studying around you. This room also does not allow food or drinks, so be sure to put your snacks away before coming in to study. There are tons of outlets, for those of you who need your laptop, so you can skip the hassle of fighting for an outlet on the other floors of the library. There are also desktop computers and a scanner if the computers on the 2nd floor are all full.
The Map and Imagery Room does not follow the same hours as the entire library, so make sure to plan accordingly if you want to study here. This room is open Mon.-Thurs. from 8:30am-7pm, Fri. 8:30am-5pm, Sun. 10am-7pm, and is closed on Sat.
Fun Fact:
Also on this floor are archived government documents and science journals, should you need any of these resources for a research project.
Study Tip 3: If you want to, find friends to study with
Not everyone studies well in groups, but it can be helpful to study with people from you class or someone who will keep you on topic. Now don't just pick your best friend(s), because you'll most likely be more distracted if you study with them. Be sure to pick someone who is serious about studying and aren't distracting to study with. This can take a while to find the right person to study with, but it works extremely well once you do.
