Looking For A Study Nook To Knock Out Some Study Time?
HERE ARE SOME COZY CORNERS OF CAMPUS TO STUDY IN PEACE
There are many spaces on campus designated to provide the optimal environment to help you focus on work. Sometimes it takes a little exploring to see what you like best, but hopefully, this article can help you find a few new favorite spots.
The Porch
Located on the second floor of the UW-Stout Library and open during decent temperatures, it’s the perfect place to get away on a lovely sunny day. This porch provides enough space to spread out supplies or study with friends. There is also netting around the porch to protect you from bugs and other flying objects like squirrels. Just make sure to go to the front desk to ask if the porch door is unlocked since they keep it closed during the colder months.
Fourth Floor Project Tables
If you’re looking for a place to get some significant work done, the fourth floor of the UW-Stout Library has work tables in the back that are great for art projects and other hands-on assignments. There is plenty of room to spread out supplies, and since it’s tucked away in the back, you’ll be left alone.
The Sensory Room
In room 218 on the second floor of the library, you will find cushioned egg-shaped chairs, concave walls that muffle sound, fidget toys on a table for anyone to use, and another table with stress balls that are free to take home. It’s an ideal combination to both settle the mind and focus on your schoolwork.
Harvey Hall
On the fourth floor near the philosophy rooms, there is a secluded corner away from the hustle and bustle of others getting to classes. Additionally, if you like the rustic view of the red brick building next door and an expanse of natural Wisconsin scenery as the backdrop, this is an ideal space for camping out.
Jarvis Hall
If you’re looking for another study spot with a view, Jarvis is it for you. On the second and third floor are lounges with cozy places that overlook the street or woods to help motivate your mind while you work.
Outside!
When warmer weather is on the up and up, you’ll find people hanging around the grassy area right in front of the Applied Arts center in hammocks. There are plenty of good trees to hang hammocks on if you have one, which can be ideal for studying or relaxing while getting that much-welcomed sun and fresh air.
Lastly, if you’re looking to take a break from the campus scene but don’t want to go too far, then The Blind Munchies Coffeehouse is the place for you. You can walk to this café in less than 10 minutes from your dorm and find a cozy corner amidst the vintage décor, free wi-fi, friendly volunteers, quality coffee, and fresh bakery served daily.
Plus, as a non-profit organization, proceeds go to well-digging projects that help provide communities with clean drinking water in rural parts of Southeast Asia. Stop in any time Tuesday-Thursday 9 am-8 pm, Friday-Saturday 9 am-4 pm, and Sundays 1 pm-8 pm (closed Monday).
So now that you know about all these pleasing options, what are you waiting for? Live your best study life and get that degree, baby!
