Every student needs a decent study space while on campus. Whether indoor or outdoor, secluded or public, there is a space for everyone. Here are the 5 best study spaces on Parkland’s Campus:
D120 Private Study Rooms
These rooms are quiet and situated inside the Center for Academic Success. The private study rooms include large tables, computers and dry-erase boards for any academic needs. “These rooms give us privacy and help us focus,” Parkland student Ebere Ogwo says. The private study rooms are Ogwo’s go-to study spot when she is looking for a quiet and productive atmosphere. Mikyla Sted, also a student, enjoys the fact that the rooms are in D120. “You can have a quick discussion with a tutor,” Sted says. “And go right back to the room.” Because the rooms are in D120, they offer a great opportunity for students to work with tutors and professors. Head to the Center for Academic Success to book a private study room.
Quiet Study Lounge in the Union
The quiet study lounge is located on the second floor in the Union. This space is unique and comfortable. The glass-enclosed lounge allows one to see everything that is going on in the Union but is secluded enough to block out any noise. Parkland student Michael Doehring admires the quaintness of the study space.“For me, if I’m going to study somewhere, I like to be familiar with that place. I’m comfortable here,” Doehring says. Also impressed with the lounge’s comfortable feel is student Elizabeth Cenzano. “It’s small and cozy,” Cenzano says. “It makes me feel at home.” The quiet study lounge in the Union is the best place to go to feel relaxed and comfortable while studying on campus.
M-Wing Study Lounge
This study lounge is conveniently located in the M-wing just down the hall from the old cafeteria. The lounge offers a more contemporary vibe compared to the others. This study lounge has tables and chairs, but also includes comfortable couch seating. In addition, this lounge has multiple charging stations on each side table. What makes this area appealing to one student is the solitude that the first floor of the M-wing offers.“I study here a lot because it is so quiet.” Find the M-wing study lounge for convenient and peaceful studying,” Arch Patel says.
Silent Area of the Library
Students wanting to study in peace and quiet should look no further. The silent area of the library is almost noiseless. This area of the library is located on the second floor and is the prime location for information. Need to do some research? Need a book for class? Both of those are easily accessible for students who choose to study at the library. There are individual study tables for privacy, lounge chairs, and group study tables. “I would move in if I could. It’s super quiet and everyone really tries to keep it a quiet area,” student Sage Russell says. This study space is the best place for students to go when trying to escape the noisy crowds of people on campus.
Bench Area Between C and D Wing
This outdoor space is off the beaten path. Tucked between the C and D-wings, this gardened area offers a little bit of serenity. As a student, sometimes a breath of fresh air is essential to productive study time, and this is the perfect place to get that fresh air. The area includes a bench and an abundance of plant life! The fresh air, the colorful plant life, and the privacy of this space make it one of the most tranquil places to study on campus.
