The Best Places to Study at Rhode Island 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!

• The Downtown Courtyard: The courtyard has a beautiful view and is also a nice place to plop down 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.
• Writing Center: It may not exactly be studying, but this resource can help you with those constant grammar mistakes that cause teachers to cry themselves to sleep.  Tutoring for most first year classes is available so take advantage if you have the desire to skip some classes since they seem pretty easy.

• “The Cafe”:  Find this little place on the lower level of the Student Union is a nice but busy spot to study.  It may not be free of the distractions but it does provide brain fuel to keep your body movin.

• Adams Library:  Wait really?  People study in the library?  YES, especially when there are too many distractions around your hall.  Take the short walk to the library, clear your head, and be prepared for hours upon hours of painful reading because you decided to push your snooze button one too many times.
• Singles Room: There are 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.
