11 Best Places To Study At UW-Madison

But only the secretive places I bet you've never thought to study at!

11 Best Places To Study At UW-Madison

A definitive ranking of every place you've never thought to study on campus. You're welcome.

11. The Student Activity Center (SAC)

The third and fourth floor of 333 East Campus Mall is a great place to study! Future freshman, it's right across from Sellery and Witte! And if you to start to lose your mind studying there's University Health Services a few floors away!

10. Grainger Hall

You know that scholarly, old, professional library you always thought a college library should look like? Well this is Wisconsin's 'ivy league' gem, equipped with those cool green lamps and all. Only downfall: it closes early.

8. Memorial Library: The Cages

Memorial Lib isn't everybody's favorite place but you're absolutely guaranteed to get stuff done when you lock yourself into a steel cage with only an outlet and light as your company! Only advice: remember that there's sunlight somewhere.

7. Humanities: Music Hall

There's both a study den and hallways filled with benches to satisfy all your studying needs! Plus, there's live band and orchestra music to keep you going! Just don't get lost. And if you do, send for help.

6. Educational Sciences Building

Some of the best places to study on campus aren't libraries at all, just as it is with Education Hall! There's quiet rooms as far as the eye can see! The higher the floor you go, the less likely you are to come down!

5. The Chazen Museum of Art

If you're lucky enough to find a table and are able to get work done before it closes (9 p.m. on Thursdays and 5 p.m. every other day), the Chazen is a seriously cool place to study. Surrounded by art and statues that stare at you! What could be better?

4. Upper House

Recently remodeled- It's one of the comfiest and most relaxing place to study. As long as you're respectful to the organizations that use the space, you're welcome there! I couldn't find any pictures because that's how well kept a secret it is!

3. Sellery Basement

Low-key may be returning to the dorm basements to study from time to time despite not being a freshman. They're comfortable, quiet, not too busy, full of outlets, and even have cubicles when you need to focus. Wear a lanyard and you'll fit right in!

2. School of Human Ecology (SoHE

Though a little further than some of the other places I've listed, the walk is well worth it. It's quiet and beautiful. How often is your study spot affective and instagrammable?! Not often, I tell you. Not that often.

1. Second Floor Memorial Union

Wait you can study there?! Yup! There's a secret room that only the brave are able to stumble upon. But once you've found it, you'll likely never want to study anywhere else again! With a beautifull view of the lake, you might get lost in the blue instead of lost in your physics. But that's okay because it's worth it (and physics sucks).


I guess now the only real question is WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT STUDYING DURING THE SUMMER? Carry on.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
