Title: Collegegoers - how often do you use your school's library?
Post by: Samus Aran on April 27, 2011, 09:59:44 AM
I'm here at the library so much it's ridiculous. It's by far the best environment for me to actually get homework done, so whenever I need to write an essay, I'm usually here. I get distracted way too easily in my room, and on days like this, where I'm running on little sleep, I need to be very far away from my bed.

On the other hand, it's also a nice place to catch a nap without having to go back to my room. I've done it a few times. The floor above this one is usually very quiet and they have some big chairs perfect for a nap. Wondrous.

I just love libraries, really. Being surrounded by books, and not having to deal with a lot of noise.

Oh god I love my library. I go there nearly every single day, it's such a great environment. I hate studying in my room, there's horrible lighting, terrible atmosphere, and it's cramped. But the library is so well lit, very wide open, and very quiet. Also, my roommate doesn't toke up in the library every day.

i've been to the library a total of about 5 times this school year

those trips never lasted more than 45 minutes, and i was only in there because i either wanted to see what it was like, was kicked out of my room by my roommate, was bored, or was looking for something to drink

otherwise i didn't really see the point in it for studying or doing schoolwork

After not going at all my first two years, I probably go about once a week now. It's surprisingly nice to do work outside of my room

I have walked in it once just to see how it was, and that was the only time

I've used it like 3 or 4 times as a meeting place for classes, but I feel like it's not a very good library.

Almost everyday when I wait for classes.

I usually get a study-room too

I am constantly at my school's library. So quiet...

I don't go to the library nearly as much as I used to last year. I don't have any breaks in between my classes this semester, so that's probably the main reason why.

I love our library. I recently started using it, but now I go there just about every time I have free time between classes. Best environment to do homework ever.

I've probably only used it about a dozen times all year. I do most of my work in studio, which is a great environment. My room is a shitty place to work.

when i had mephedrone, i would snort a shit load on my way to school and go to this plush cushioned armchair at the subsurface study room of the library. there i would sit in the dim light and read entire chapters at a time or write entire essays straight, for hours on end. here and there i went to the bathroom. sometimes i would be in there for half a day or so. those were some strange and amazing episodes. i did the most and best work those weeks of the semester. still sad i went dry.

When I lived on campus, I practically lived in the library.    It was so much more comfortable than my bedroom.  As soon as I moved off campus, though, I found that my living room or bed room work just as well.  Now I rarely go to the library.
