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.
