The Best Places to Study on Reading Day

The Best Places to Study on Reading Day As the semester comes to a close, its time to prepare for Final Exams here at the University of Illinois. Next Thursday, December 10th, is Reading Dayâ€"the official day of studying for University of Illinois students to prepare for their final exams, which starts the next day, Friday, December 11th. I understand that some people dont like studying however Studying is important and can be fun if you study in the right place. If its your first or last Reading Day, its important to have a good study space for Reading Day. Here are some great places to study for finals that are right on campus: The Undergraduate Library:  Open 24/7, the library right next to the Morrow Plots and behind Foellinger Auditorium, is a popular spot to study year-round for students. The best thing about the Undergraduate Library is that if you want to study as a group, you can reserve group study rooms. I usually use those rooms when I do group projects. The Union:  There are multiple places to study in the Union. Theres the Courtyard Cafe and the basement downstairs with a ton of tables set up to study. The best thing about studying in the Union basement is that when you want a study break, theres some great places to get a snack like Wendys, Qdoba, and Einsteins; theres now a Starbucks in the Union, too! But lets not forget the nice study lounge on the main floor with the pianoâ€"theres always time for a piano break, too. The ACES Library:  In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful libraries on campus. This library has beautiful windows and a large open space with tables to study. It reminds me of huge-city public libraries and would be a perfect movie scene if there was a movie about studying for finals. So, Illini, go to these great study places and get to work! Good luck on finals, Illini! Daniel Class of 2018 I’m an Advertising major in the College of Media. I’m from a northwest suburb of Chicago called Buffalo Grove. I chose Illinois because it was the first university in the entire world to offer an Advertising major, which is pretty cool!
