There are many beautiful places to study on campus; but it definitely takes time to find them, explore them and pick the ones that are most suitable. I would encourage everyone to explore and experience all these unique places for themselves as each place has something different to offer. After a year of exploring and studying at these various locations, these are some of the things I am able to share with you.
This library is better known as the Ugli. The first floor and the basement are the noisy floors. If you decide to study on these floors you will be able to talk freely and are definitely suited better for people who work with noise in the background. The second, third and fourth floors are the quiet floors. You will still be able to talk on these floors but conversations are usually kept in whispers. These floors accommodate those who study better in silence.
Even though this is the graduate library it is not only limited to only graduate students. Anyone is able to go in and study there. On certain floors there are areas where each person can study in their own little cubicle. The Ref room is also a popular space to study in Hatcher. It is a room filled with dozens of long tables and filled with complete silence.
The Union was newly renovated and since its reopening this January it has been an attraction to a lot of students. The reason for this is because the Union is made up of a lot of open spaces where students are able to study with friends and order food and coffee at the same time.
The Michigan League is the most aesthetically pleasing place to study on campus (in my opinion). The tables there are made from marble and if you are into modern architecture and clean looks then this is most definitely the study spot for you. The atmosphere here is conversational and just like the Union there is also food and drinks that you can buy inside.
Ross has study spaces on all floors. The interior of Ross is very open and spacious which creates a great studying atmosphere. Sunlight is able to come in easily so the lighting is always great. One thing to consider is that study spots here are usually hard to find. The Ross atmosphere is always conversational and a bonus is that there is a Starbucks directly inside!
Other
There are so many more locations that you will be able to explore and study at, once you get on campus. Some honourable mentions include The Fishbowl, the Law Library, various dorms, Victors and many more. Happy exploring!
