4 Low-Key Places To Study On Each Of Rutger's Campuses

The first thing a new student at Rutgers learns is that Rutgers is HUGE. There are 4 campuses (5 depending on who you ask) and thousands of students attending. Thankfully, it isn’t that difficult to navigate the bus system and in no time, you’ll know your way around the quirks of each campus. However as finals are coming up really soon, some of your favorite libraries may be packed daily.

Thus, I thought I would share my favorite low-key study spots on each campus of Rutgers.

1. College Avenue: Honors College East Lounge

The Honors College is one of the newest and nicest buildings on the College Ave campus. Although the building is used primarily as a dorm, the bottom level is generally open during weekdays for classes. The natural light from the big windows, the modern interior, and the quiet atmosphere make the East Lounge the perfect place to get work done.

2. Livingston: HR Graduate School Building

Located between the business building and the student center, the graduate human resources school building is another great place to study. Since not many people know about it, it’s typically very quiet, making it extremely easy to focus on the task at hand. The chairs are comfortable, there’s good lighting, there are outlets near every table...what more can I ask for?

3. Busch: The Cove

I’ll admit, I don’t know Busch as well as the other campuses. However, the student center has many tables for students to do work. An even better place to study, however, is the Cove within the student center, that provides a relatively more secluded area to be productive.

4. Cook/Douglass: Kathleen W. Ludwig Global Village Learning Center

The last destination on our journey around Rutgers is the Kathleen W. Ludwig building. As with the theme of the other locations on this list, this building is also unknown to many students making it quieter and more comfortable. From personal experience, the soft couches, bright lighting, and convenient outlets have promoted my work ethic while I’m there.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
