When it came to finding places to study, I feel like the longer I was at BYU, the more I got creative to where I how I like to study and where I would like to be when I study. Yes, the library is always a good place to go. There's the silent level where if you really just need to concentrate and you need no noise, you can always go there. But then I also just like to go to different buildings because I feel like there's just some buildings like the engineering building that just has so much more light and just so many places that you can go and study. And so I feel like you just need to find what's the best fit for you to be able to concentrate and then just kind of wander around and find your favorite building. Or you just want to study in the building where you have most of your classes because you can be close to your professors. So it really is just up to you and how you can find the best places because there's just so many buildings you can go to. So be creative and find the best place for you.

Most Hobson complexes offer a study room within their building. A lot of students prefer to go out and find a different place on campus to study. One of the common ones is the library, but my favorite one is within the Benson building. There's a few different gardens inside there, and one of them is within the plant shop. If you go up in there, open the doors, and go to the right, there will be a rose garden. You'll just open the doors, walk in, and you can find a spot, and you can just study, you can read, and it's beautiful. Another favorite spot of mine is in the Taylor building, and there's a chapel inside, and it's the most beautiful spot on campus. You can't talk in there, you just ponder and you pray, and it's great after you've done a religion class or before you've done that to study there, and you can do the rest of your homework there as well if you want a good spiritually in tune environment.

If you want to study, go to the library, go to a silent hallway, go to an empty classroom, go to the gardens, your apartment, the balcony, go to the park, anywhere that has space and silence or very little noise, you can study there. Go to the temple.

My favorite places to study were outdoors, so at the parks or just in any grassy area, in a tree, in a hammock. Those are great places to study.

Some of my favorite places to study on campus was the library, especially at the chairs that are in between the bookshelves on the second floor, I think. Another place was the Eye Center because it was quiet and just like the library and you could go and just find a good place to sit. The third place was probably the heart building by the big window that overlooks the stadium.

I like it when it's not like dead silent but close, so I enjoyed going to the library and there is a section where you can go to the bottom floor and like there's there's some chitter chat, or you can go floor two above I think it's for two or three where it's dead quiet. It's a good spot to go I don't like to be at the library too long, but every now and then I'll go for a bit and get some homework done. That was one of my favorite places to study when I was at BYU Idaho.

Whenever you're taking a math class, there's a great opportunity called the math study center, and we have so many students who will just take their homework into the math study center and work on it there, and then when they have a question, they just raise their hand and a tutor comes right up, so you don't have to have all of the anxiety and waiting about if you're going to know how to do it or if you're going to be able to get help when you're ready to do it. So yeah, some students just come in right after class and spend half an hour doing their homework, and they understand it so much better because when they come to a part where they need the help, the help is right there.

A great place to study if you're doing a lot of reading for a class is inside the Benson building. There are greenhouses. They aren't open all the time and in the greenhouse there's specific gardens. There's like a more tropical garden and then like a desert garden. There's also in another part of the Benson building the scripture garden and that actually has more like tables and stuff so you can really set up and study in there. They're a lot quieter. They have some running water which can be really relaxing and the natural white noise and it can be really pretty and calming too. I've gone there between classes just to calm down enough to be okay for my next class.

The nice thing about campus is that, especially during better weather, you can even study outdoors. There's a beautiful park in the middle of campus. There are plenty of spots where you can go study at the MacKay library. Every building seems to have a few, you know, more silent zones depending on how silent the students are there. But there's, I found many places where I could just sit down and study. Sometimes I'd even go to a different building just to, just to, yeah, go through my stuff or even put my headphones on and DJ, mix a show, a radio show to send back home for community radio. Every building has its more silent areas where you can just sit down and just focus on your work. So you've got a variety of places you can mix it up if you want and have at Yeah.

I was a music major, so one of my favorite places to study was the Snow Building. And this is kind of a very not well-known building, but it's a great place to study. I love it. There's the harp lab, and I love just walking through and just hearing somebody playing the harp. Sometimes you can hear a choir singing, or there's a little ensemble practicing in the fishbowl area down there on the ground. And it's just, it's full of music, and it's just wonderful, and it's usually pretty quiet in there. I think it's a really great place to study. You can also go upstairs in the Snow Building, and there's this little hallway up there where that's the theater area of the Snow Building. And it's usually pretty quiet up there too, and I love to go study there because it's not a place that a lot of people go to study because the Snow Building's kind of on the far end of campus. But if you can make that trek out there, it's a really great place to study because it's usually pretty quiet, and you usually get to hear some kind of beautiful music going on throughout the building. So that's a really great place to study. I love studying there.

There are a lot of cool places to study at BYU-Idaho. BYU-Idaho honestly has a lot of cool, just little nooks and crannies that you can find. I'd recommend if you want to go to a quiet place that feels more peaceful, go to the BYUI Center. They often have a lot of free seats, but you should be willing to not have a desk if you go there. But a lot of people, that's fine, they just have their computer and their laptop. But other places that are really good, the library is obviously a good place. The second story of the library has, it's quiet, it's a quiet room, quiet area. So if you want it really quiet, because you need to focus on something, you can go there. And they've got a lot of desks that are kind of sectioned off, so you can just be in your own zone if you need that. But if you want to study there, somewhere where there's a lot more noise, you can go to the MC. I wouldn't recommend going during lunch, because you just won't find a place to sit. But other times of the day, you can go there and just eat and sit, and it'll be a lot louder. Some people like that.

One of my favorite places to study, especially in like the spring semester and in the summer, is in the gardens. The Ricks Gardens are so pretty and it's quiet over there. There's also some greenhouses in the Benson building that are, there's like little tables you can study in. There's not a lot though, so sometimes there's people there. Also the Austin building has a lot of tables and places to sit. The Eye Center is a great place to study as well as the Smith building. There's a lot of good places in there and the Ricks building and the library is fantastic too. There are so many places to study on campus.

My favorite places to study are usually in the library, specifically on the second floor because it's like a quiet floor. You're not supposed to really have loud conversations. People do, kind of annoying, but they have these little like cubicle things, cubicle chairs, so you can sit in the chair and you can't see anybody except for the window and for the wall in front of you. And you've got a desk and like a floor lamp thing and then there's chargers on the little seat thing, so that's a really good area. I also love in the heart, there's a downstairs lobby kind of a thing next to like room 142 and 141 and there's always just couches and little like footstool table things, so I always recommend either the heart or the library.

I have found it good to have a study group or like other human beings to study with otherwise I'll like study for 10 minutes and then I'll look at my phone for 20 and then I'll get back to it and I'll study for 15 minutes and then I'll get on my phone again and I'll be off on that for like an hour like it's not the best sort of time frame or use of my time I'm bad with time management but having a friend group or a study group really helps and whether you do it at your apartment or in the library or at a park depending on the season it's really fun and then you also have some people that if you miss a day of class they can tell you what you missed and vice versa

If the weather is nice, go study outside and get some fresh air. You need that.

I know a lot of people who study at the library and they really like it because there's cubicles you can study at and there's also rooms I think on the second or third floor that have whiteboards that you can draw diagrams or what you're studying which is really helpful and if you don't like super quiet places to study the MC is also a really common place if you like background noise you can go and sit at a table and there's chargers and also places to eat so it's pretty fun.

Finding a quiet place to study can be hard, but I know there's always places and buildings that are pretty secluded, whether it's just one chair or not. If you like to be social while you study, I highly recommend the top floor of the library. That always has a lot of people who are willing to interact with you, as well as the bottom floor of the library. They have some nice couches and group tables and computers that you guys can all work together with, make friends. It's super fun.
