UGL

What can we say? This time of year, we’re dead inside, but we’re still fun. You can come to the UGL on Reading Day for fun crafts and games, but also see the zombie-like shells of your fellow students studying for finals. We are here to help you feel as alive as possible when finals have you feeling less than human.

Grainger

If you like this movie, you’ll love the Grainger aesthetic. As the Engineering library on campus, it has plenty of computers and study spaces for you to do some serious studying. There is also a virtual reality lounge and a 3D printer if you stop by the IDEA lab! Lovers of Apollo 13 will feel inspired to overcome their study woes. If Tom Hanks can get back to earth, you can conquer this final.

At Home

If you like this movie, you like the comfort of your own home—away from any intense noises that could get you eaten by an alien. Want to know how to guarantee a quite study space? Stay within the comfort of your own room. Sometimes finals are meant to be defeated in silence.

UGL Study Spaces

Posted on by

We are halfway though the semester and midterms are here! Yes, not many people are excited about having to turn in papers, projects, and study for midterm exams. It can be very overwhelming and sometimes your dorm room or apartment is not the best place to study and get work done. Don’t you worry, the UGL has a couple of suggestions for some great study places. Not only are there a variety of spaces, but there is something for everyone’s project needs.

The group rooms on the upper level of the UGL

First, we have the study group rooms, located on the upper level of the UGL. For group projects the group rooms are a great fit. There is an enclosed space, large table, and a TV screen where you can hook up your own laptop. Here you will be able to work and interact with your classmates.

Also on the upper level, we have the computer spaces in the Media Commons. If you need specific software, the UGL has iMacs on the upper level. These computers have a lot of programs for all your project needs. For video editing, sound editing, building databases, the Media Commons has got you covered. Visit this page of the Media Commons for a detailed list of the software and programs. All your work can be done here!

Some of us need complete silence to do our work in peace. Lucky for you, the lower level of the UGL is the quiet level of the library. You can have the convenience of a computer in a quiet zone and in a semi-private space. As you arrive in the lower level, the computers are located near the entrance, close to the Media Collection.

For those who do not need a computer or already have a laptop, the lower level tables and carrels are perfect. The tables are perfect for laying out your notebooks, textbooks, gel pens, and other study necessities. You can find these tables all around the lower level of the UGL.

For more privacy, the carrels are a great place to study, They are just the perfect size for a textbook, notebooks, or laptop. This perfect space for one person allows you to fully concentrate on your work and projects. Like the tables mentioned above, the carrels are located all around the UGL on the lower level.
