Looking for a new study space?
Here are some study areas on campus that you might want to try out if you are in need of a new location to crank out a few hours of course work. These areas are open to all students throughout the uni day and so it is recommended that you explore new areas of campus. Studying in a variety of new places is sure to also get your creative mental juices running too. I know that finding a new study space definitely revitalises my passion for studying!
