Sometimes life on a college campus can seem like a never-ending stream of noise and activity. While this couldn’t be better for some people, others find this exhausting. If you identify with the latter group, you might be an introvert. If that’s you, never fear! From one introvert to another, if you’re looking for a way to get away from the noisiness on campus, here’s a list of the five best places to go.
1. Scholarly Grounds: Located in the Blough-weis Library, Scholarly Grounds is a great place to grab a delicious cup of coffee while recharging your social battery. Monday through Thursday, Scholarly Grounds is open from 8am to 10:30 am and 3pm to 10pm. While Scholarly Grounds can get a bit busy around 9am, it’s still a great place to relax. Most days, especially after 3pm, it offers a quiet, relaxed environment. Complete with friendly staff and a wide array of delicious drinks and snacks, Scholarly Grounds is a great alternative to Starbucks if you’re looking for a more introvert friendly atmosphere.
