Need a QUIET place to study?
The Library Has It!
You need to review for your upcoming Econ quiz. Or maybe you’re working on that English paper that’s due next week. Study at home, with all those people demanding your time and attention? Nope. At the dorm, with everyone involved in their own lives? Impossible!
Upon careful consideration of your options, you make the wise choice. The library!
The tables in the Atrium have plenty of light from the 3 story windows, and that lovely pastoral view of the Flint river and 
vast open lawns …
So relaxing.
It’s a great place to study in peace and quiet.
Unfortunately, about a hundred other students had the same idea.
And with the incredible acoustics in the Atrium, the subtle background sounds start gnawing on your nerves.
Then a large group comes in and sits at the table next to you. And they start whispering. It’s not that bad. You can ignore them and immerse yourself in studying.
A girl giggles. Someone drops a book. Somewhere someone is talking on their phone. You hear the faint sound of music wafting down from the upper level carrels. Several nearby students start talking about where to go for dinner, what clothes to wear and …
You are about ready to explode!
All you need is a room where you can get some peace and quiet and get your work done. Why can’t that place be the library?!!!
