With finals lurking around the corner like a stomachache after Taco Bell at 2 a.m., I thought it would be fun to give each FSU residence hall a designated finals study spot. Whether this gives you and your friends a laugh or new study spot ideas, it\u2019s sure to bring some light to the darkness that\u2019s finals season.<\/p>\n
Azalea & Magnolia \u2013 Catalina Caf\u00e9<\/p>\n
These are the newest, cleanest dorms, so they match a modern, aesthetic caf\u00e9. Catalina is calm, bright, and structured, which is perfect for students living in the Business Living-Learning Community<\/a> (LLC), or for those who like organized, focused studying.<\/p>\n Jennie Murphree \u2013 Landis Green<\/p>\n Jennie Murphree is quiet, traditional, and has a very focused environment. Located near Landis Green<\/a>, Jennie Murphree is central and houses some honors students as well. That being said, I feel like the students would benefit from some chill studying during golden hour on Landis.<\/p>\n Landis \u2013 Dirac Library<\/p>\n Speaking of Landis, the honors hall, it only makes sense that they would be paired with the science library, Dirac. Being a quiet, calm library meant for serious studying and locking in (compared to the \u201cperformative\u201d Strozier), it only makes sense that the honors students would thrive in this very serious environment.<\/p>\n Ragans & Traditions \u2013 Midtown Reader<\/p>\n These are apartment-style dorms, meaning more independence and self-directed living. Midtown Reader is quiet, intellectual, and off-campus. This is perfect for upperclassmen who are feeling like they need to get off campus.<\/p>\n Rogers & McCollum \u2013 Patchwork Coffee<\/p>\n These are also apartment-style but slightly more relaxed. Patchwork is cozy, aesthetic, and slow-paced, which is great for channeling your inner Rory Gilmore and studying for hours.<\/p>\n Broward \u2013 Strozier Library<\/p>\n Broward is one of the most traditional freshman dorms, making Strozier the perfect fit because it\u2019s the main study hub.<\/p>\n Gilchrist \u2013 Einstein bros. Bagels<\/p>\n Gilchrist is central and convenient but not overly loud. This reminds me of Einstein Bros. because it\u2019s also central and perfect for quick, efficient, and casual studying. Who doesn\u2019t love bagels and people watching while studying?<\/p>\n Reynolds \u2013 Thagard Building<\/p>\n Reynolds is academically focused and close to major academic buildings. Thagard is also close to major academic buildings and extends their hours during finals, making it the perfect spot for academically focused students.<\/p>\n Dorman & Deviney \u2013 Student Union<\/p>\n These are two of the most social freshman dorms on campus, so the Student Union is the perfect fit! There\u2019s always people around, with food, movement, and piano playing as background noise. It\u2019s the perfect place to study with your friends and not have to worry about being quiet.<\/p>\n Bryan \u2013 1851 Dining hall<\/p>\n Bryan is the oldest residence hall<\/a> at FSU. This makes 1851 the perfect fit because it\u2019s named after the year FSU was chartered<\/a>: 1851.<\/p>\n Wildwood \u2013 Academic Center of Excellence (ACE)<\/p>\n Wildwood is newer, quieter, and a bit removed from the center of campus. ACE has structured academic support, the best study rooms, and is always very quiet. This makes Wildwood and ACE the perfect pair.<\/p>\n Cawthon \u2013 Dodd Hall<\/p>\n DeGraff \u2013 Mugshots Coffee<\/p>\n DeGraff has a classic suite-style with a very typical college dorm feel. Mugshots matches that relaxed, social, coffee shop vibe where people study and also hang out.<\/p>\n Salley \u2013 Olive Garden<\/p>\n Now this one may seem random, but it seems like a fun place to try. Olive Garden has unlimited breadsticks, a quiet atmosphere, and is off campus. This is perfect for Salley because it\u2019s isolated, and I\u2019m sure the residents get hungry because they\u2019re right next to the smaller of the two dining halls, Seminole Cafe. I\u2019ll definitely be giving an Olive Garden study session a try at some point in my college career, and you should too.<\/p>\n Finals season is a stressful time, but finding a place to study shouldn\u2019t be one of those stressors. While you\u2019re cramming for your next exam, change up the pace and give one of these a try. \u00a0<\/p>\n Want to see more HCFSU?
