<p>I found out that Berkeley libraries open until 2a.m. at the latest (except for finals) which is a major drawback for me because I like camping out in libraries and staying for several days in a row without seeing the light of day. (call me weird if you want)</p>
<p>Which college libraries are open 24/7? (specifically UCLA and UCSD) Is it common to have libraries open 24/7 on college campuses?</p>
<p>I dont think its that common... Duke is doing it right now on a trial basis... most places seem to be open late but not all the time on weekdays and then they are open 24 hrs a day during exams (like Berk) I'm sure there are some that dont follow this but it seems to be the "norm".</p>
<p>So if it's not open 24/7 then I can't sleep there overnight right?</p>
<p>haha.. at auburn they actually have security people at their libraries to make sure nobody sleeps there overnight.</p>
<p>At Uva Clemons library is opened 24 hrs Mon-Fri, and if you plan to be there all night you can bring a sleeping bag...no one will bother you.</p>
<p>Luckyyy...that's the type of college I want! Too bad I didn't apply to UVA.</p>
<p>i spent more time in the library last year than i did my own apartment. by the time i graduated i was so glad to be done :)</p>
<p>Do people actually sleep in the library? Seriously.</p>
<p>You can sleep in the library, even if you technically aren't allowed to. My school library closes but I know a few people who have stayed overnight (accidentally, mind you).</p>
<p>But the important question is, when are you going to camp out there for a couple days? Not during the week, b/c you have classes, so that leaves... the weekend?</p>
<p>Case Western's library is open 24/7, but their reference desk closes at 9pm on weekdays. That and the security guy likes to harass students who fall asleep as he's bored.</p>
<p>Oh yeah. I didn't think of that.</p>
<p>Damn Berkeley and its lack of dead days.</p>
<p>who in their right mind would WANT to live in the library...</p>
<p>I do.</p>
<p>Call me weird.</p>
<p>It's a quirky fantasy of mine.</p>
<p>USC's Leavey Library is open 24/6 (as it's closed Saturday night).</p>
<p>I work one night shift there and during midterm times, it is crowded. But off-peak times, it's just a few grad students who tend to be sleeping anyways.</p>
<p>Dang I should have applied there...</p>
<p>so... you don't shower every day?</p>
<p>anyway, our library here is open 24 hours monday-fri, and then we have one that is open from 6am to 2am monday-fri and on weekends open from 10 am to 12 am.
we've also got a study lounge for MBAs but anyone can really use it and it's open 24 hours.

<p>Geez, I find this ironic that this discussion occurred and the next week my school's paper does a news bit about this topic:</p>
<p>Wow...that's really crazy. I just meant live in the library for fun, not actually living there because I have nowhere else to live!!</p>
<p>Vicisitudes your right.... your weird. I dunno if I am missing something but why would you want to be in the library 24/7 studying? I'm sure your smart just live a little ;)</p>
<p>My sister told me that after 2am during finals all the city bums come to the library to sleep. It's probably why it's not open 24/7</p>
