I It was hard to find an open space at this campus study lounge. Lounges are a popular spot or commuters, and for residents who are simply looking to get out of their apartment or residence hall. If the main floor of the library isn ' t quiet enough, the upper floors are isolated to provide a serene studying atmosphere. StULK ' i 121

It is also known as the only tool that will help you successfully pass. While shows like A Different World made college studying appear fun - you and your friends sharing a bowl of popcorn and a bag of candy - in reality, it was less glamorous, with your head bent over a big textbook and a cup of coffee at your side. No matter how you put it, no one looks forward to studying. However, the benefits we get from it cannot be argued. And to make your study experience similar, if not better than, the shows that depict college life, here are a few suggestions. For the studier who wants to be social, there is the Tuttleman Learning Center. Only half the people in there are really studying; the other half are people watching and gossiping. With Tuttleman, you have the best of both worlds. For those who need complete silence, the Student Center offers a study lounge on the second floor, complete with couches that allow you to take a break and rest. For those who enjoy the city, studying downtown at Borders or Barnes and Noble is a common practice for many. Not only can you people watch, but you can also go on shopping breaks. If all else fails, just gather a group of your friends and make it fun. Order pizza, buy lots of soda and forget about those pounds you are going to gain inevitably. at- m It was ha: anopei fccam] lounge. 3ifapo[ 201- ' ' riu licll lower is a good venue for studying - aiid people watching.
