The Absolute Best Places To Study Around UNR's Campus
Kiana Fuller

I would say a definite pro about my college experience so far is the beautiful campus. It's full of places to sit down and read a good book, hang out with friends, but most importantly it has some very peaceful places to study away. I never thought as a high school student that one day I'd think a great place to study would be a deal breaker for me in college. Until you have it though you'd never expect it.

Here are a few of the best places I've found to study on campus.

The local coffee shops...

The Hub and Bibo coffee co are both really close to my campus and have very beautiful places to hideaway and study. Tons of local art is sure to be hanging on the walls for purchase. Not only do these pieces add charm to the shops, but also give you something to look at when you have mental study breaks.

Go outside and find some trees...

My campus is incredibly green in the spring and summer, and incredibly white in the winter because of the snow. Either way it's definitely beautiful to bring your work outside and sit under some trees. Even ham mocking in the afternoon in the tree shade is a good way to pass time, and study for upcoming tests.

Can't go wrong with benches...

Basically anywhere on campus you will find benches. Sometimes they are placed in areas that have the best scenery which I 110% believe is on purpose. Why would you put a bench on campus just to face a brick wall? Near our lake at UNR you'll find tons of benches surrounding it giving you incredible view of the water fountains, and ducks roaming about. Also tons of trees and flowers surround the area in the spring and summer adding color around you. I like to sit out here and work on drawings for my art classes.

Get Lost...

If you walk around your college campus and explore long enough you'll find great places to go and get away from your dorm for a while. The newest place on my campus where I love to spend time in the sun studying is our Student Achievement Center. There's a large hill out front that I show in my picture above that is great to sit on and listen to music or meet with friends to study.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
