The Best Places to Study at Penn State

Apparently you're expected to take time from all the stuff going on at college to study. Unless your roommate is completely silent, you have sworn off IM and your neighbors are absent, you’re going to have a difficult time getting actual studying done in your own room. As a result, you will have to seek out alternative study spots, and there are some good ones. When the studying just ain’t happening, the Daily Jolt’s QuadRiot is a great source of procrastination because sometimes you need to go away to come back.  In the mean time here are some great places to cram!

• Floor Study Room: Got serious work to do? Try your floor's study lounge.  No AIM profiles to check, no Myspace (if you can survive), no ringing phones, and no TV. It's not fun in there, but believe in it, you'll get your work done. The one risk is that you will slip back into your room.
• The Library:  Wait really?  People study in the library?  YES, especially when you have to really cram for finals. Pick and choose from this list; one has to meet your fancy.
• Singles Room: There are many singles rooms spread around campus.  Chances are you will make a lot of friends your first year, a lot of which will have different schedules from you.  If you have a particularly annoying roommate or are not able to study in your room, go to a friend's single and try to study there.
• The Quad: The quad is a great place to find a lovely little grass spot to plot down on and read.  Not the most productive spot on campus, but maybe the most enjoyable way to study. You won't feel like you're wasting a gorgeous day sitting inside studying. Bring a blanket and you can enjoy a nice spring day and study at the same time. Just watch out for the Frisbees.
• Tutoring center: The Tutoring Center has a lot of benefits and in the end you’ll probably write a paper really good.  Did that sentence look right to you?  If so, you may need to visit the writing center for a little help.  Of course, even the best writers can always use improvement.
• The Café:  So Penn State has a lot of different locations and a lot of different cafes.  Your school has one!  So go grab a bagel and a cup of coffee, sit your butt in a chair, and open that book of yours.  Ignore the good looking people walking around you.  You must ignore them!
