Libraries
Puaka-James Hight is considered the number one study space for many students, but it can fill up quickly. If a library environment works for you, you can also check out MacMillan Brown or EPS.
There are bookable study spaces in all three libraries – find out more here>.

Informal learning spaces
Not-so-secret spots for study are dotted around campus – if you see a space around with soft seating and a table, you’ve likely stumbled across one!
