\"Julianna5.\u00a0 PAL Study Lounge in Mugar Library<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m the type of person who needs background noise during my study seshs, so the complete silence of Mugar just drives me insane. PAL is the only area in the library where you can talk as loud as you want or unwrap that candy bar without getting glares of doom. During finals week last semester my friends and I crammed around a table in PAL over Arnold Palmers and string cheese and studied our little hearts out.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Espresso Royale Caffe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whenever I have a burning desire to look intellectual as I measure out my life in coffee spoons (a.k.a. read T.S. Eliot), I go to the resident hipster caffe of East Campus. Note, ERC is not owned by BU, but while you are there you are bound to bump into someone for your philosophy class or one or two TAs. I basically lived at ERC last spring during finals week. My routine was to snag a small round table in the back, order a shot of espresso, and get into the zone with my studying while I listened to the indie music playing in the background. Side note, do yourself a favor ladies and use the bathroom at ERC. It\u2019s not immaculately clean or anything, but the stall doors are covered with lyrics and lines from poems. Definitely an experience. Their spicy chai tea is also an experience.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 COM Lawn<\/strong><\/p>\n

This study spot is only available in September and May when it\u2019s warm, so take advantage! I chill in the grass with my friends in between classes and type up assignments. Let\u2019s be real, studying on the COM Lawn results in mostly people-watching and taking in the sunshine, so save this spot for lighter studying or catching up on emails. COM Lawn days definitely require a pair of Ray Bans or intense, oversized shades alla Mary Kate and Ashley.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 SMG Starbucks<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Starbucks is located on the second floor of\u00a0 SMG and is basically the watering hole for SMG students, but I spot a decent number of COM kids whenever I\u2019m there. I go to SMG Starbucks to do homework three times a week on average. Make sure to get there at awkward hours, such as 5-10 minutes before and after classes generally begin, so you can get a coveted table by an outlet. Hands down you\u2019ll find me here on most Sunday afternoons with a venti soy iced coffee and in my Sunday finest: leggings and a flannel button-down.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Hillel House<\/strong><\/p>\n

BU Hillel is located on Bay State Road, and probably the most beautiful building on campus. It may be the center for Jewish life at BU, but Hillel\u2019s doors are open to all students. Late shameless plug alert: I work as a part-time receptionist Hillel, and it\u2019s basically my second home here at BU. I am obsessed with this place. If I\u2019m not in class or behind the reception desk, then you can find me doing work on the second floor in the student boardroom or in the library on the first floor. During finals week the building is open for extended hours and the fourth floor chapels turn into study spaces with round tables and a traveling \u201chydration station.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
