Top 12 on-campus study spots

Submitted by

As a college student, a decent amount of your time is spent working on homework, projects, and studying. Because of that, you'll want to find what methods work best for you. Do you prefer studying by yourself or with others? Does food and water help fuel you? Maybe listening to music motivates you?
Another aspect you'll want to consider is where you're studying. For some students, that's in the comfort of their home. For others, they may work best somewhere other than their home. If you find you enjoy studying and working in a different environment, give one of the many study spots on campus a try.
We've compiled twelve of the best naturally lit study spots on campus, where you can find them on campus, and what each study area includes. Check them out and get your study on:
