As finals week falls upon us, students across campus are heading to quiet spots and breaking open their books. Some students feel more comfortable studying in their rooms, while others will grab their books and notes and camp out in the library.

Most students have their own favorite and secret study locations that help them pass their exams during the stressful week. If you need to change up your study habit, these locations seem to be popular choices; it all depends on what works for you.

But finding a comfortable and convenient place to study is a challenge for some students. Rebecca Rubin, a freshman accounting major, goes to her building’s study lounge to review her notes because her room is too distracting and the idea of hitting the sack is just too tempting.

Jana Fink, a sophomore double majoring in psychology and art, also studies in her hall’s floor lounge.

‘I need some noise when I study,’ Fink said, ‘and my floor lounge is quiet but with just the right amount of sound.’

Other students, like freshman human development major Alex Berenbaum, find their bedrooms to be most conducive to studying.

‘It is my most comfortable environment, and everything I need is already there,’ she said.

Randi Hoenig, also a freshman human development major, agreed. She said that she needs a constant place to study and the library doesn’t always work because certain spots are not always available to work in.

Sophomore psychology major Zach Moskowitz said he also studies in his room, but admits that he doesn’t always get a lot of studying done.

Josh Hollander, a junior mechanical engineering major, and Stefani Guerra, a junior English major, choose to study in the Glenn G. Bartle Library’s West Reading Room. Guerra prefers the quiet space because it is open later than the others.

Some students pick other quiet spots in the library. Brooke Denner, a senior psychology major, studies in the second floor North Reading Room.

‘This quiet room in the library is great to study in,’ Denner said. ‘It’s very quiet but I still can see my friends there.’

Bridie Garcia, a sophomore psychology major, chooses the Fine Arts Reading Room in the the library.
