BU is well known as a big campus, which can seem intimidating, but with this list, you are sure to find new places to help you crank out that paper that\u2019s especially hard to write or just do some last-minute readings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questrom Starbucks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/dining\/location\/starbucks\/\">Starbucks<\/a>\u00a0located in Questrom is the best Starbucks on campus. The coffee is great, and there\u2019s usually good music playing. The booths are particularly comfortable to sit and camp out in, and it\u2019s even more fun when you\u2019re studying there with friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3rd Floor of Mugar Library <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first floor of Mugar\u00a0is also a great study area but is usually incredibly crowded. The third floor, however, is usually less crowded and is a just as good, if not better, study spot. The rows of desks give you a bit of privacy while also being able to talk to the person next to you if you are with friends. Studying within the bookshelves also, at least for me, makes me feel more studious and gets me in the mood to do work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1st Floor of CGS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This might seem like a weird spot, but the comfortable couches are too hard to ignore. I also really like the atmosphere; most people are also doing work, and everyone is usually doing something different, so this is a great space if you are working alone on an assignment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAS Think Tank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/khcblog\/files\/2022\/10\/cas-thinktank-17-1355-RIBBON-010-1024x684-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-438 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/khcblog\/files\/2022\/10\/cas-thinktank-17-1355-RIBBON-010-1024x684-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/khcblog\/files\/2022\/10\/cas-thinktank-17-1355-RIBBON-010-1024x684-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/khcblog\/files\/2022\/10\/cas-thinktank-17-1355-RIBBON-010-1024x684-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is for all the people that need a quiet study space. The Think Tank is usually silent, and so this is a great place for people studying alone. There are a lot of outlets to charge any devices you have, and there are different seating arrangements (desks, chairs, couches) so that you can choose the spot that makes you the most comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kilachand Common Room<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/housing\/files\/2016\/07\/13-6974-KILCHCNTR-025-1.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"238\" height=\"356\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is not a quiet space, so if you need to be in absolute silence to do work, this is not the place for you. However, it\u2019s always nice to go downstairs (especially if you are living in Kilachand) and study while also getting into conversation with whoever else is in the common room at the time. The close proximity to the kitchen is also really nice for eating snacks while studying.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this list has helped you find new places to study, or even just new places to hang out. Good luck to everyone this semester!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Gabrielle Gewirtz CAS \u201824 As a new semester is getting underway, it\u2019s time to revisit the best study spots on BU campus.
