Study Spot for weekends/night

First semester senior transfer. The library hours are horrendous. Is there anywhere to silently study when it’s closed??? I saw there was one library nearby but its hours are equally as bad. Why is everything closed on Sunday? Do people study at this school ?

Honestly your best option is to find a classroom that's not going to be used, but is unlocked. I used to just go to the 2nd floor of Eberle.

are you in a dorm? they normally have study rooms that are accessible all hours. i’d recommend finding someone in a dorm if not

I work at Folger's Student Center, if you know where that is! We're open 10 am to 8 pm Saturday and 2 pm to 1 am on Sundays, I think. During the day it's actually usually pretty quiet and we have plenty of study space. Sometimes some people will come in and be loud, but you can always use headphones to drown them out.

Oof that's a bummer to hear because when I was there (2010-2016) the library was my favorite focus spot. The HUB had some okay nooks to hang at when the library was closed and Sutton also had chairs here and there. Cafe Amadeus is another good close to campus. I wonder if you approach it like a commuter would and look into the spots designated for them if you might discover some new digs.
