Greetings from the Library

I have yet to use any of the university libraries for books. I come to the library almost every day to use the printer, computer, or one of the desks to study. There are several libraries here on campus, but the only two I ever use are Hunt Library (the main library that is built out of aluminum) and the Engineering and Sciences Library.

Each library has its advantages. Hunt library has a quiet study floor in which the sound of a backpack zipping grates your ears like nails on a chalkboard. On the other hand, if you're not careful about where you sit, you end up facing the windows that look over the cut. There are few things more distracting from calculus homework than watching a cloudy sky.

That is why I prefer E&SL. Not only does it have computers more likely to be free in case you need one, it also looks and feels like a concrete dungeon. It's much easier to concentrate, despite the lack of a quiet floor. There is a quieter corner of E&SL full of desks, but you still occasionally hear the printers running and people talking on the other side of the giant room. All-in-all this is one of the best places to study, I think.

And now it's time to take advantage of that.
