Although summer is within our grasp, the final six weeks of the school year can feel long and at times unbearable with final exams, projects and presentations. Below is a map of Urban with a guide to some great study spots to finish that lab, that voice recording or study for that final math test. Good Luck Blues!

Alex Lee ‘22 — “[Alexandria-Rear because] it’s nice and quiet and the walls are books which adds to the study vibes.”

Page Sparks ‘24 — “I find it fun to sit by the window nook of the 4th floor by Aerie because I love looking out onto the street and also talking to people and teachers as they walk by…I feel [that] it’s hard to find a quiet spot at school because there are always so many people around. I love to be in a quiet classroom by myself or with the soccer team, preferably [in] Eureka or Terra Incognita because it’s quiet and has a lot of space.”

Harper Dean ‘24 — “The library because it’s calm and a big space.”

Emmie Shannon ‘23 — ​​“Blues Lounge, especially in the mornings, because it is nice and relaxing to come in and get work done.”

Julia Susser ‘22 — “When I am really trying to focus, I need a quiet space, so I aim to work in an empty classroom. I think Alexandria is nice in the back room of the library. I would say that the garden is also really conducive for studying. I realize it isn’t quiet, but fresh air can be helpful.”

Athena MacDonald ‘22 — “[The table overlooking the Salkind Center Beach is] the best table for me because all the underclassmen are there so they don’t bother me when I do my work. It’s also good because I get to see Chef David when I walk through.”
