Sometimes when the library gets too crowded, it can feel like you’re being watched. Despite recent allegations, this is not what the university strives for. To avoid feeling surveilled, check out the Natural History Museum on the top floor of Osborne!

Stay away from the lack of ventilation in the dorms and opt for an area on campus that is sure to make your lungs proud: a designated smoking area! A bonus of utilizing this study spot is the free samples they offer at the various locations, kind of like Costco.

Another quiet area to get some work done is in this active construction zone. The construction crew is friendly and will usually hold off on using the jackhammers until you’re done rehearsing your presentation.

For a change of scenery, consider studying in the back of a police car. The only downside is that you do have to get arrested to get there, but reports put the meals in jail as better than the Lodge.

One of the most important parts of studying is being comfortable. Consider this ultra-sturdy and comfy chair located on the first floor of Osborne. There’s been a surplus of chair-related vandalism spreading across campus, and this must be one of them. Ignore the message; it’s irrelevant.
