Libraries
Puaka-James Hight is considered the number one study space for many students, but as we all know, it fills 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>. No longer need that study room booking? Cancel it and let someone else book it.
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!
