1. Forum Library:
Probably the most notorious study space on campus, and the most common place you will find me, the Forum Library is fully equipped with a variety of spaces that cater to everyone’s learning environment.
Open 24/7, the library consists of three floors, including the Law Library on Level -1. With plenty of seating on all floors, you can definitely maximise your study session here. Whether meeting friends, planning a group project, or seeking a quiet place to study, the library is a place for all academic circumstances.
You can book study pods (available in Level -1), take full advantage of the silent/quiet zones, work in group study rooms, or study with a group of friends; the Forum Library really has it all!
2. Amory Building:
Another favourite amongst students, Amory provides a wide and spacious area to study on campus. The space has drop-in individual and silent study spaces, as well as bookable group study rooms. As a third-year History student, Amory has been a popular choice for group project meetings, as well as any last-minute reading before seminars and lectures. It also has a café, so a great all-round space for studying.
3. The Loft:
If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere to study, then the loft is the place for you. Located on the second floor of Devonshire House, this hidden gem is tucked away. The first room serves as a quiet zone; it also includes PCs for anyone needing access to them. Including unique pod chairs and tables, this drop-in room is a fabulous location to get in the zone for studying and revising.
4. The Guild / Devonshire House:
Located on the ground and first floors of Devonshire House, and the home of our Students’ Guild, these floors provide ample space to revise with a group of friends. With large round tables and comfortable seating, it’s excellent for studying in a relaxed and sociable environment.
5-TheOne Building, Business School:
On the ground floor of the Business School, you will find the La Touché Café, a vibrant and bustling hub in the University, and somewhere lots of students study with friends. Not only are there plenty of tables and chairs, but you can also book study group pods that are situated in the corner of the room.
6. Peter Chalk
Whilst Peter Chalk can seem a trek to get to after facing Forum Hill, it is another vibrant hub. Radiating with lots of natural light, the panoramic seating of the Barisca Co Coffee shop is also a top location to study. Situated in the building is another large room to do any last-minute preparation for seminars or lectures.
7. Physics Building
A hidden gem on this list, and one of my favourite places to study on campus, is the Physics Building. Whilst even further up Forum Hill, the trek is worth it as the views are unforgettable. Located on the top floor of the Physics Building, you will find a silent study room that gives views of the whole campus, Exeter, Dartmoor and the Devon coast(that’s if the weather is good!). This hidden gem is amazing for not only the views, but also a deep study session, and I find it’s a great place to write my essays.
These are some of my favourite places to study on campus, but there are plenty more out there! Other locations that should be checked out are also the Queens Café, the Old Library and the Washington Singer Building. Hopefully, this guide gives you an idea of the vast study spaces that the Streatham campus has to offer!
