If you’re someone who likes a little bit of background noise while they do their work, then Cafe on the Quad is the perfect place for you to study.

Group study sessions are extremely helpful for those classes that confuse you even after you’ve read the book inside and out. The 2nd floor of the Axinn library is a perfect spot that you can gather up your classmates and go over all of the material before the big test. If you’re planning on doing some serious studying, you can even reserve a nice room with a whiteboard, to write down all of the important things you discuss.
