I need a quiet place to study late Friday and Saturday nights. A few of the libraries are open until 8 or 9pm fri/sat night at the latest. Any other ideas for quiet study places that are open late on the weekends? I get too distracted if I try to study at home..., thanks

school library

daniels hall

clubhouse of apartment building

8/11/2008 11:32:09 AM

get a one bedroom apartment or a free standing house

8/11/2008 12:49:26 PM

school library

8/11/2008 1:34:20 PM

You're a grad student. You don't have an office or a lab?

8/11/2008 4:10:33 PM

yeah, daniels hall is 24hr and is usually pretty quiet unless you get the ECE kids in there with their circuit boards chattering away

8/12/2008 8:53:20 AM

if only there was a building built for this...

8/12/2008 11:57:17 AM

^^ you talking bad about ECE, ohh no you didnt!

Daniels = ECE

^^ DH Hill Library closes at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays during the school year.

8/13/2008 6:12:09 PM

^^Except ECE is in now on centennial campus

Can you just walk into Daniels hall, or do you need an access card / key?

Yeah, I had this problem in the past. It's really pathetic that we are striving to be an elite university, yet we can't even provide one single place for members of the student body to study at night on the weekends.

My suggestions. Most of the dorms have study rooms, some you can access through the building, others require a key. Most of the time you can find people to let you in if you're lucky.

University Towers, the private dorm on Hillsborough Street, has a computer lab / study room on the first floor and study rooms on the other floors. Not sure if the study rooms require a key. Bum around the front door with your bookbag on and just follow someone inside.

I thought about this but I've never felt the need to try it, but going to a hospital to study wouldn't be a bad idea. I was at Wake Med earlier this year and there are some completely deserted lounges, waiting rooms, and other areas. Quiet, safe, open all night, snacks & drinks on site.

8/14/2008 2:26:23 PM

the side door of daniels is open 24 hours. the front doors are locked after like 10pm and on the weekends which makes people think it's closed, but you just have to walk around to the side nearest withers.

8/16/2008 10:19:43 AM

^ yeah, Daniels is open

so there is ONE SINGLE PLACE, at minimum

I have no idea why people want to study on weekends unless it's exam week

and/or why they can't stand to to it at home or in their dorm room

there are still more computer labs than the ones in Daniels open 24/7, if that's the issue

probably the dumbest thing still furshia has ever posted, in my opinion


has anyone said avent ferry complex? i use to go in there, its 24 hours...they have a computer lab and like study room

8/17/2008 10:50:46 AM

Yet she still comes off as a genius compared to you, go figure.


Just wake up early and study in the AM. Your mind will be fresher and there are tons of places open and empty on a Saturday/Sunday early morning.

8/17/2008 11:24:31 AM

Pretty much all residence halls with a 24-hour desk have a Unity computer lab also available 24-hours. Some of our newer labs, such as Honors Village, Wolf Village, and a new space we created in the AFC lab, have plenty of room for you to spread out and study. They're lightly used late at night on weekends.

8/17/2008 5:40:17 PM

my bedroom?

8/17/2008 7:05:23 PM

^^^not when she says stupid shit like who studies on the weekend, you friggin' idiot

8/17/2008 7:33:32 PM

bookstacks

/thread

8/17/2008 8:48:53 PM

^ close at 10pm on Friday & Saturday, hence this thread.

8/17/2008 9:42:46 PM

^according to still furshia one should only study on the weekends when its exams...and they are open 24 hours during exams...lol

8/17/2008 11:21:13 PM

just because I didn't have to study late on weekends to do well doesn't mean you have to take out your frustrations on me

if you manage your time well during the week, this shouldn't be an issue on weekends

[Edited on August 18, 2008 at 12:56 AM. Reason : but if you really want to be on campus at midnight on Saturday poring over a book, go for it]

8/18/2008 12:54:07 AM

^^lol...so true

Dude, the guy clearly indicated he wants somewhere "quiet"--AFC is hardly ever quiet. And late night it gets kind of thuggish and is often full of ECE majors.

Honors Village still has a 24-hour computer lab, I think, and you could probably use one of the conference rooms there, too.

8/18/2008 3:37:58 AM

wolf village computer lab

8/18/2008 3:47:19 AM

you could get a FOB at the EB's with the right reasons, go in any time you like

8/18/2008 7:50:41 AM

hooksaw, in my humble opinion, as someone who has studied there many a time, i did not find it loud...it was not "thuggish" in my opinion either...on fridays and saturdays the "thugs" are not near the computer lab/study room(in my experiences)...the only people there are the dot people

8/18/2008 9:39:29 AM

^ A couple of years ago, I was in AFC late at night on numerous occasions during which groups of drunk and/or high people were looking at porn and playing video games, among other conspicuous things unrelated to studying or coursework. I don't just make this shit up, dude.

Keep in mind that I'm not coming down on having a buzz, porn, or video games. I'm just saying that there's a time and place for everything. And if this guy wants quiet, I don't recommend AFC for it.

8/18/2008 10:10:56 AM

Once upon a time I used to study at Cup a Joe because they were open until midnight. I heard they cut back their hours though

8/19/2008 2:43:28 AM

learn to study at home and quite whining. goes for the rest of you who bitch about ncsu not having places to study. they have plenty of places, but if YOU can't find one you bitch. well how about going home and using your own space for studying?

8/19/2008 7:18:41 AM

Seriously! I mean what the hell is wrong with expecting a huge institution keeping quiet places for those to study?

8/19/2008 7:22:27 AM

^the thing is, is that they do. However, the best/most popular spots are obviously taken first, and that's when these people bitch. I've seen/heard people bitching about not having a place to study, meanwhile, I'll be in a building, and see tables open, classrooms, lounges, etc.

Just because your favorite places are taken, doesn't mean there is no where to study.

Truth. Security may be a bit of an issue. When visiting hours are over most people need some sort of badge or tag to access certain areas. But there are some really nice quiet spots at most hospitals.

Seriously, I guess they don't make Sundays like they used too. Maybe I could see fri/sat night studying on exam week, but the first week of classes??? Get out some!

edit to add: Saturday from breakfast to dinner is optimal study time too.

empty classrooms are the best

haha "frustrations on me"...that is very funny wording...

8/22/2008 9:37:01 AM

dur hur, I think you should use the library at 11pm on Saturday.

I'm so smart and witty.

8/22/2008 12:06:47 PM

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
