Study Space in the Library
The St. Paul campus library has six rooms for groups of two or more. These are perfect for finishing those group projects. If you need to study in silence, check out the Quiet Study room 127 where no talking is allowed. There is lots of other study space in the Library although it may not all be quiet. Bring your iPod to block out those pesky groups.
The Minneapolis campus also has space for Quiet Study.
