Finals season is tough, and sometimes it feels like the days blur together. But finding the perfect study spot can make all the difference in staying productive and motivated. Whether you need total silence, a comfy place to spread out your notes, or just a change of scenery to break up the routine, the right space can really help you stay on track. Luckily, campus has a ton of great spots for every type of study vibe, so you can tackle exams feeling a little more focused and prepared.
Spot 1: The Solarium
The Solarium is a quiet study room, attached to the concourse. It is a sun-filled space with big windows that make it easy to focus. It’s perfect if you need silence to get into the zone. It’s peaceful, bright, and ideal for those long study sessions.
Spot 2: Science Atrium
The Science Atrium is a great place for group study sessions. It has lots of tables and even indoor trees and a huge sunroof, making you feel like you're studying outside. As business students, you might not even think to study here, but the mix of greenery and sunlight can really help you concentrate.
Spot 3: 24 Hour Lounge
The 24-Hour Lounge in the Fred Nicolas Building is perfect for anyone pulling late nights or needing flexibility. There’s something for everyone—comfy couches, group tables, private study rooms, and even ping-pong tables for quick study breaks. Whether you’re working solo or with friends, this spot has it all.
Spot 4: 2nd Floor Laz Rooms
The second-floor rooms in Laz are a finals-season favorite. If you can snag one early, these rooms are gold. They have whiteboards for brainstorming and offer a great view of the atrium. These are especially good for group work, but they’re in high demand, so get there early to claim your space.
Spot 5: Library Cubicles
If you need to focus and block out distractions, library cubicles are the way to go. They’re quiet, simple, and found on every floor of the library. Sitting near a window gives you a nice view and some sunlight to keep you going. Perfect for when you need to lock-in and get stuff done and they are practically always available.
Whether you’re looking for total quiet to focus, flexible hours to match your study schedule, or a space where you can collaborate with friends, there’s a spot on campus that’s just right for you. From quiet corners in the library to cozy lounges or group study rooms, finding the perfect environment can make all the difference in how productive you feel. Take the time to explore what works best for your study style and settle into a spot that keeps you motivated. Finals may be challenging, but with the right space and mindset, you can stay on top of your game and crush those exams. You’ve got this!
