Study Spaces On Campus

Finding the right study space is equally as important as how you study. Here are a few things to consider when looking for a study space:

 

Individual Study  

  • Find a quiet space that will allow you to focus on the task at hand
  • A space that has easy access to materials and resources
  • Try to find a space with as few distractions as possible
  • You want to be comfortable… you will work best when relaxed, but not so comfortable you fall asleep 

Group Study 

  •  Find a large enough space to facilitate group work
  • You want a space that allows for healthy discussion and debate, but…
  • Quiet enough so you don’t have a lot of interruptions or social drop-ins   

 

Study Spaces on Campus 

  • The Dr. Daniel O’Brien Study Hall in McCain Hall is a great place to study quietly with access to computers
  • The Harriet Irving Library offers individual and group study lounges, learning commons, reading rooms and computer labs
  • If you live in Residence there are several shared study lounges, good for either individual or group study
  • Try the Great Hall on the second floor of GMH for a more relaxed, comfy place to study individually or in a group. Grab a coffee while you’re at it
  • The OC Lounge in JDH can be a good study spot, but it is a place for social gathering as well. You may want to consider this space for group work. If you are easily distracted, this may not be the place for you   
  • If you’re in JDH and looking for a quieter space for some individual study time, try the second floor lounge (next to the Wabanaki Centre). There are a few tables and chairs set up around the corner from JDH 204 as well
  • You can grab lunch or a coffee and settle into the JDH cafeteria for some study time. Just remember this is a busier spot which tends to see a lot of traffic
  • If you are looking for a quieter space that offers access to computers, you may want to try the Rotunda on the third floor of BMH
