My Special Study Spots

My Special Study Spots Hey guys, Now I know there have probably been a few other posts that talk about places to go study around campus, but Im going to make mine kind of special. When you go to a college as big as Illinois, there are plenty of study spots, and it seems like when finals roll around theyre always filled up because everyone knows these are the best spots. These spots are obvious though; the Main Library/UGL, Grainger Engineering Library, the Illini Union, theyre all obvious choices. For you guys though, Ill let you in on my special study spots for future reference. And Ill even give it to you in forms of my top 3! 3. Armory Building I had a class here my freshman year, so Ive always known that there were plenty of classrooms open for student use, however there are plenty of students on campus that have never taken more than one visit to this lovely building, which makes it a prime study spot. Located right in the middle of Armory Avenue, this little gem kicks off my little list.

Its not as big as some of the other libraries, but they have a nice computer lab, and several classrooms open to student usage. Located on Goodwin Avenue by Mumford Hall and the Fab Lab.

English Building Now as a Creative Writing major, I might be a little biased towards my majors hub, but it just seems like every time I need a quiet place, somewhere to print, or a desk, the English Building comes through in the clutch. There are several floors of open classrooms, just waiting to be used by students of all majors. They have a great computer lab too! Located right on the quad on the Wright Street side.

Good luck on your finals. Until next time, Kenny Kenny Class of 2016 I’m in the Creative Writing program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I’m originally from Tampa, Florida, but I’ve been calling Illinois my home since 1998. I’ve lived all over the Northwest suburbs, from Palatine to Lakemoor to where I currently live back home, Mundelein.
