It is no lie that the majority of students at Boston University work really hard throughout the academic year. With midterms coming up, it is important to spice up your study life. Choosing different study locations can change up your usual routine and make things more interesting than studying at your regular dorm desk.

1. The Top Floor of Stuvi

Just before sunset, the views are breathtaking. Stuvi offers a convenient place for students in West to study (and also great Instagram pictures).

2. Pavement Coffeehouse

Located in central campus, Pavement is in the perfect location for all students. Pavement is a cute little cafe, perfect for jotting down notes and writing essays, and not to mention their coffee is amazing.

3. The 6th Floor of Mugar

The 6th floor of Mugar is hands down the best floor of the entire library. Again, the views are spectacular. Most of the windows provide a great view of the Charles River.

4. Rich Hall Study Room

This room tends to get noisy sometimes, so if you need a quiet place to study don't count on this one. But this is super convenient for everyone that lives in West who gets bored of studying in their rooms.

5. Starbucks

It's okay to be basic sometimes. Starbucks tends to get a little noisy, so be sure to bring earphones to help concentrate. Starbucks is also great because you can use your dining points, so you don't have to worry about maxing out your credit card on venti caramel macchiatos or not having enough change for a chocolate chip cookie.

6. The Boston Public Library

If you totally want to get away from Boston University, the Boston Pubic Library is the perfect space for you. Not only is it beautiful, but it is also very quiet.

7. The BU Beach

The BU beach is the perfect spot to do some creative writing or to read a book. Unfortunately, this spot is only good during the warmer Boston months.
