The Best Places to Study at Mount Holyoke College

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 room. No windows to gaze out of, no IM profiles to check, 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 a delightful one! Mt. Holyoke is said to have one of the most beautiful college libraries in the country and makes for great place to network with the upper classers.  Have you hugged a librarian today?  No?  Good, keep it that way. 
• 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.
• Blanchard Café: The combination of late night hours and pizza are excellent when it comes to studying.  At Blanchard you’ll find both the greasy pleasies that get you through those cram-a-thons.
