<p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>To the study places list, I'd add Kresge Physical Sciences Library, or really anywhere on the upper floors in Fairchild Tower. Very quiet.</p>
<p>And I'd second the Rauner suggestion. Rauner is, without doubt, the best (if most underused) place on campus. In addition to being very quiet and very beautiful, the librarians and resources available there are second to none. </p>
<p>Rauner is different from almost all other special collections libraries because of its emphasis on actually handling the work in question; at other libraries, you can only look at photocopies or have to put on gloves or have the librarian page through it for you. You can walk in off the street and request a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio, or a Galileo first edition, or Daniel Webster's hat and socks (yep, they're back there), and they'll ask for an ID and hand them to you. It's incredible. Make use of it.</p>
<p>sybbie, that link is great</p>
<p>Study: Dartmouth Hall (in the afternoon they got empty classrooms)
Baker Tower and other seminar rooms
Sanborn (sometimes you will be alone in the place. it even feels eerie.)
Stacks (not my favorite because its small space and color depress me, but many seem to do productive studying there)
Rocky (open untll midnight)
Your own room (my personal favorite, as long as you have a single and turn the blitz off.)</p>
<p>Hang-out: Collis commonground, living room, TV room, and sofas by the Lone Pine downstairs.
Novack
The Green (in the fall, it's beautiful place to simply relax
)</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>WIsconsin, Rauner sounds great...</p>
<p>anybody else?</p>
<p>I have moved into Novack Cafe for finals. A couple of friends of mine set up a colony, leaving our books there 24/7 and making tea. It's a support group. But we actually get stuff done!</p>
<p>During the term, I usually study in the East Asian Room, which is between the second and third level stacks.</p>
<p>All those are great places. For 24hr 4am studying Aquinas House Basement (you dont need to be catholic) and the Roth center are cool.</p>
<p>Yeah, AQ is cool. My sorority is right across the street from it so a lot of us study there.</p>
<p>Studying while wanting to see people I know= 3rd floor Berry
Intense Studying/Writing a paper and not wanting to see my friends= 4th floor Berry
"I want to feel like a good ol' boy"= Tower Room
"I want to pass out"=Sanborn
"I want to read 5 pages in 3 and a half hours while I talk to all my friends and we eat each others' food and finally go to bed at 4 am"= Novack Cafe</p>
<p>"I hate this class, damnit why did I take it? Nah, it's not the class, it's me- how could I do this? The walls are moving in on me, I feel like I'm in a yellow hospital. I can't believe I put this paper off until now, let me check facebook, wow, the sun is coming up...holy God I'm an idiot"= 1902 room. </p>
<p>And yah, Rauner is amazing. I've been working in there a lot for the past few weeks for a particular class. The librarians are great. Yesterday, in fact, I was researching a topic, and one of the librarians started researching it for me, too! she kept bringing me information and things I might want to look at. And it's funny you mention Daniel Webster's socks- we pulled them for our class today.</p>
<p>Yah, that library is amazingly beautiful. </p>
<p>I tend to work on 3rd or 4th floor Berry.</p>
<p>(I forgot to mention I watched the sun come up in the 1902 room this morning....)</p>
<p>Apppro you could not be more spot on. Why am I up still, oh yeah, exam tomorrow. Some things never change.</p>
<p>Lol that made me think of Aimee Mann,
"Finals blew, I barely knew
My graduation speech
And with college out of reach
If I cant find a job its down to dad
And myrtle beach."</p>
<p>wow the shmen's guide is so useful!! i should have read it before my interview lol</p>
<p>"Rocky (open until midnight)" </p>
<p>Rocky (Rockefeller Center) is an awesome place to study as well, and most of the time, you can study there all night. S&S (campus police) comes in and locks up at midnight but the wonderful thing is, because campus is so safe, there are no alarms, only locked doors. Therefore, S&S usually just tells me to close the door on my way out and they lock up leaving me there all by myself. Only problem is, last time I took advantage of this I was in one of the seminar rooms in the basement and at 2AM I started playing with the front consol, realized I could put Cable TV on the huge projection screen and ended up watching TV for an hour or so - not so conducive to studying.</p>
