Admit it: the UNSW library is awesome. So many floors, so much stuff to see and do, so many psychedelic colours and hidden nooks and crannies to explore! Whoever designed it deserves a big piece of cake.<\/p>\n

It’s my favourite place to study\u00a0on campus, but it\u00a0also seems to be everyone else’s favourite place, too:\u00a0it’s\u00a0almost always\u00a0full of\u00a0people. Sometimes it can be hard to find a free, quiet space – especially if you are new.<\/p>\n

So, here’s my handy pictorial guide to the top study spots in the UNSW Library.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Booths <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"sarah02-ps\"<\/p>\n

    A great place to sit and study with friends.<\/p>\n

      Private Cubicles<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"sarah03-ps\"These individual desks located on level 3 are always perfect when I\u2019m in need of some hardcore concentration!<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Beanbags <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"sarah04-ps\"Because we\u2019re all guilty of needing an occasional (or daily) mid-day nap!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Desk with a view <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"sarah05-ps\"<\/strong>My all-time favourite study spot! Make sure you get in early \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            The \u2018regular\u2019 desks <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"sarah06-ps\"Perfect for a bit of last minute homework on the way to class.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              Study rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"sarah07-ps\"<\/strong>Great place to work on group assignments.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n

                Larger study rooms with whiteboards \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                \"sarah08-ps\"The big study rooms on level 4 have floor to ceiling whiteboards \u2013 perfect for visual learners!<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. \n

                  Postgraduate study space <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  \"sarah09-ps\"It\u2019s good that postgraduate students can study in their own private space. Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t get in but I\u2019m sure its great!<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. \n

                    Circular desks <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    \"sarah10-ps\"Located in the side areas of level 3 and 4, these tables are actually a very efficient shape! They can be used independently, or pushed together for collaboration.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. \n

                      Library lawn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      \"sarah11-ps\"<\/strong>A relaxing place for reading or a nice study break where you can soak in some vitamin D.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. \n

                        Quiet study floors <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        \"sarah12-ps\"<\/strong>A silent spot for those of you who can\u2019t deal with background noise.<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. \n

                          The aisles <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          \"sarah13-ps\"If everywhere else is taken, leaning against the shelves is not a bad option.<\/p>\n
