Spring Break is literally around the corner, which means we are getting closer to the finish line, Bears. That makes this the perfect week for me to dive into favorite places to study on and near campus.
Depending on your mood, different study spots on campus may lend themselves well to your workflow. Whether you’re a social studier or prefer privacy, there is bound to be a study spot for you!!
My list of my absolute favorite places to study are:
- Potter’s House
- I don’t know about you, but this place just gives off a homey feel. The smell of coffee and the chatter of others make it all the sweeter. You can also go up the stairs for more of a quiet space.
- Second floor of Glass Hall
- If you prefer a modern vibe while studying, the booths on the second floor of Glass Hall may be the perfect spot. There is a large open-access computer lab for students on this floor, so you can easily print papers or notes. It also has many spacious booths to spread out, especially helpful when studying for a big exam.
- Tables by John Q. Hammons Fountain (between Temple Hall and Duane G. Meyer Library)
- Enjoy the weather at the center of campus, likely in proximity to many of your classes. The fountain offers relief from a hot day walking around campus, so feel free to dip your toes while taking a study break.

- The fourth floor of Plaster Student Union
- This is the quietest floor of them all over in the PSU, and you can eat while you study. What better way to do it!!
- Study Spaces in Meyer library
- Study rooms are closed right now due to COVID-19; when they reopen, they will be another great option!
Establishing good study habits may take effort but finding the perfect spot to study shouldn’t have to. Let us know your favorite places to study in the comments below, and don’t forget to Bear Up for the semester ahead!

I think those are some really good spots! Personally, I really like any of the tables near windows on the second floor of the library, and the table on the fourth floor of the professional building!
Hi Rhiannon, I was so happy to read your blog post since I’ve been missing seeing you in the office. I found your blog post this week to be really helpful because even though I’ve been on campus before I haven’t studied in some of these places and since I have a while to go, I’ll be able to use them when I get back on campus. I’m definitely checking out Potter’s House since I love coffee and the way it smells.
