With finals coming up, I wanted to take the time to share some of my favorite study spots around\u00a0campus. Just make sure you leave a seat for me if you decide to check them out!<\/p>\n

5. Kilachand First Floor Lounge
\nThis is one of my favorite spots on campus for lots of reasons. First off, it\u2019s a very clean cut\u00a0and modern space. Sometimes, getting into the mindset of studying just takes being in the right\u00a0spot. For me, that means the right temperature and a plethora of comfortable seating and table\u00a0spaces. This lounge has couches, a fake fireplace, lots of tables, and a plethora of outlets. Plus,\u00a0Kilachand is the honors college, so there\u2019s definitely lots of brain power floating around the
\nroom.<\/p>\n

4. Marciano Commons
\nI know what you\u2019re thinking, food is the ultimate distraction, but hear me out on this one.\u00a0Marciano is one of the greatest dining halls in the nation and has great atmosphere. I don\u2019t know\u00a0about you guys, but I need to snack while I do work and there\u2019s an abundance of food (which is\u00a0healthy at that) at your fingertips in the dining hall. Another plus: outlets everywhere. Usually,\u00a0you\u2019ll find me camped out towards the back of the first floor if you want to stop by and say\u00a0hello.<\/p>\n

3. Mugar 4th Floor
\nThis isn\u2019t exactly a secret spot by any measure, but I think it\u2019s often overlooked. A lot of people\u00a0hype up the second or third floor, but the fourth floor is by far the best. As you go higher up, the\u00a0library gets quieter and for me the fourth floor has just enough noise to function. My favorite\u00a0feature about this floor has to be the long communal tables! Not only do they have lots of outlets\u00a0and chairs, but having other people in such close proximity helps you feel like you\u2019re all holding\u00a0each other accountable for doing work.
\n2. COM Lounge
\nBefore I get into the benefits of COM lounge, let me give you all a strong piece of advice: get\u00a0swipe access to COM the moment you matriculate. It gives you access to COM ~after hours~\u00a0(aka nights and weekends). Especially around finals season, the lounge empties out because most\u00a0COM students have projects instead of finals. The lounge is not just great during finals; all the\u00a0amenities are still there during the normal semester, but they\u2019re a little more crowded than usual.
\n1. Theology Library
\nI don\u2019t even remember when I found out about this spot, but I\u2019m glad I did. Not only are there\u00a0cubicles throughout, but in the back there\u2019s lots of tables and tons of natural light. It\u2019s in a great\u00a0spot on campus, too, because of how central it is. When I was taking my religion class, it was a\u00a0great space to focus on the topics at hand. It\u2019s a very warm and inviting space and the tables and\u00a0cubicles are both large enough to comfortably spread it. It\u2019s a little more quiet than some of the
\nother places on the list, but even if you don\u2019t like quiet, you should give the space a try.<\/p>\n
