When crunch time hits, University students hit the books at a variety of spots around campus.
Designed for studying and classes, the Student Learning Center is where many students flock during finals and other intense study times.
The SLC is open 24 hours Monday through Friday during the year, and every day during finals.
Main Library: open until 2 a.m. Sun-Thu
Science Library: same hours as Main Library
The building houses quiet areas on the third and fourth floors. There are more than 500 computers available for student use.
A little further north on campus is the Main Library, open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.
There are also some computers available as well as a wireless internet connection for students with laptops.
True to the classic library image, the University's Main Library maintains a relatively quiet atmosphere and offers seven floors of books and other publications to be checked out or used for reference.
Or catch a ride to South Campus and set up camp at the Science Library, which keeps the same hours as the Main Library. Though the Science Library is smaller than the Main Library, some find it a quieter place to study.
"It's really, really quiet, and everyone's focused. There's no chit-chatting," said Jackie Reedy, a sophomore magazines and history major
from Alpharetta.
For students looking for a place to do reading or writing, the University campus also offers a multitude of green spaces for lounging with books and laptops, especially as the weather gets warmer.
On North Campus, many students spend their study time on Herty Field, in front of Moore College, or on the shady lawns of the historic section of North Campus.
On South Campus, the Myers Quad is a popular study spot. Watch out, however, because a pick-up game of Frisbee, another common site on the Myers Quad, might be a bit of a distraction.
Of course, for students who don't want to trek anywhere in particular, one's room is always an option.
Though roommates might present a distraction if they are not also studying, many students still find their rooms to be ideal study spaces.
