Campus is full of places to study whether you study best in a group or alone, indoors or outdoors, with movement all around or complete silence, there is a perfect place for you to study. We polled some UA students and here is what they had shared as their favorite places to study at The Capstone:
The Gorgas Library Steps – Looking out on Denny Chimes and the Quad, there is no better view of campus than the front steps of Gorgas!
The Quad – Bring a blanket and choose either the wooded shade to relax, or the bright sun to get some rays while studying! You are also guaranteed to see adorable dogs running across The Quad.
The Ferguson Student Center – If you like some background noise while you study, the Ferguson Student Center is a great place. There are multiple couches and comfortable spots to sit on every floor of the building.
The Science and Engineering Complex – This space is a nice scenic spot to sit outside on a nice day.
The Park at Manderson Landing – If you would like to get some Vitamin D and study time in, check out Manderson Landing! It offers a wonderful view of the river.
Woods Quad – In the heart of campus, this location offers very few distractions and little foot traffic!
North Lawn Hall – North Lawn Hall is one of the newest building on UA’s campus and has lots of comfortable furniture to help you relax while you’re hitting the books.
