Loyola University is a pleasant campus, with numerous outdoor and indoor locations ideal for reading and studying. Some locations are lesser known than others.
The Monroe Library alone holds multiple calm, study spots. The upper levels of the library contain many quiet spaces with great views, especially when sitting at tables near the window.
“It was nice. I had to read like 100 pages of my book and I was able to crank it out in one sitting because of the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the library,” said Sophie Schnapp, a freshman environmental science major.
The uppermost floor of Monroe Hall is another indoor, tranquil corner of Loyola’s campus greatly suited for classwork or studying. It has no lack of comfy chairs and tables for working, matched with vast windows providing natural light and views of the campus and surrounding area.
Nour Saad, a junior environmental science major who frequents Monroe Hall’s 6th floor said, “I like that it’s next to a big window, that’s the main reason I study here. I like to be able to see the outside, I don’t like enclosed spots.”
Found down a short passageway between the Monroe Library and Miller Hall, there is a small, outdoor area filled with benches and tables great for studying. Marked by an image of St. Ignatius Loyola and his companions, this secluded spot lacks no solitude for a good book or study session.
The picnic tables towards the front of Loyola’s campus, outside of Thomas Hall, provide an ideal cross between shade, cover, outdoor views, and fresh air. With a perfect view of ‘Touchdown Jesus’, this outdoor area with internet access is a favorable campus site to get work done.
Once autumn sets in on Loyola’s campus, the Peace Quad will become a perfect spot for quiet study. Located outside of Monroe Library, this grassy area with its abundance of benches, tables, and shady oaks provide numerous spots for reading or homework solely or with a friend. KC
Crawfords, a freshman in pre-law and psychology, enjoys completing homework in this space.
“I like the way the sunlight bounces off my computer, and I feel like I am one with nature, ” Crawford said.
