Midterm season is alive and well. While we’re all sad we can’t go over to Moffitt Library to study, there are many other places (aside from the more popular Doe and Kresge libraries and Main Stacks) on campus that are open for all students to explore. Take this quiz to see which one you should visit!

    1. The big, shared tables

    3. Study rooms
    4. Just on the floor

  7. 1. Music Library: Located near campus’s School of Law, the Music Library has some gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows to bring in natural light as you study. It’s perfect for studying in-between classes while the sun is up
    2. Valley Life Sciences Building/Bioscience, Natural Resources & Public Health Library: Not a lot of people know there’s a library inside of the VLSB since it’s not visible from the outside. However, this library has a couple of study rooms for you and your friends to collaborate in!
    3. Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Library: The main selling point of this library is its location. If you’re already on the east side of campus and don’t want to go back to Doe, you can hang out here before your next class.
    4. Business Library: Located in the Haas School of Business, this library has one of the comfiest and coolest chairs out there. Definitely check it out if ever you’re in the area.
