It\u2019s time to wrap up papers, presentations, projects and exams before summer vacation. If you are on the prowl for the perfect place to be productive before exams begin May 13, here\u2019s a look at some of our favorite on-campus study spots:<\/p>\n

Golda Meir Library<\/h2>\n

\"51ÁÔÆæ<\/p>\n

Students who study best in silence can look to the third floor of the Golda Meir Library. You may prefer to sit at a table near the stairs, or you may venture into the long rows of bookcases \u2013 which seem to stretch forever \u2013 to find quiet spots. You can always find your ideal place to finish that last class presentation. Studying late? Chancellor Mark Mone will be here handing out snacks Monday, May 15, at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

The library is open 24 hours a day until Saturday, May 20, when it closes at 3 p.m. The library will be closed on Sunday, May 21.<\/p>\n

Union Grind<\/h2>\n

\"Union<\/p>\n

The Union Grind is always bustling with people getting a caffeine fix. Whether you\u2019re working alone or with a group, it\u00a0offers a wide array\u00a0of seating and tables. You don\u2019t have to buy a beverage, but for coffee lovers, it\u2019s perfect for sipping a cup of joe and tackling a term paper.<\/p>\n

Union Fireside Lounge<\/h2>\n

\"51ÁÔÆæ<\/p>\n

In the midst of the bustling Student Union, stroll to the Fireside Lounge for a quiet space with comfortable, upholstered chairs. The Fireside Lounge allows you to be comfy and cozy while still being productive with your studies. Relax\u00a0next to the fireplace or take a power nap to recharge before your next test.<\/p>\n

Kenwood Interdisciplinary Research Complex Lobby<\/h2>\n

\"Kenwood<\/p>\n

Another quiet area is the lobby of the Kenwood Interdisciplinary Research Complex. Comfortable lounging chairs sit beside large windows overlooking Kenwood Boulevard. Whether you are taking a break, sitting between classes or studying hard for that last final, the KIRC lobby has a unique ambience.<\/p>\n

Gasthaus<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t mind a little background noise, grab a bite to eat while working in the basement of the Student Union. Or reward yourself with a burger and fries after a long study session in the library. The Gasthaus\u2019 lively atmosphere provides an enjoyable time with comfort food adding motivation to finish finals week strong on a full stomach.<\/p>\n

Remember, things might be noisier during lunch and dinner service, and there will be special hours during finals week.<\/p>\n
