I know what you're thinking...college is just a place to have fun, play games, and meet some great people. However, there's always school inevitably mixed in with all the other amazing activities!
School can be challenging. Studying is important, especially if you're having trouble with a class. To help, Denali and I will take you on a photo tour of campus, showing you the top 10 places for studying on campus!
10. Language Lab: ¿no comprendes?
The language lab, located on the 6th floor of the Gruening building, is a fantastic resource if you're learning a foreign language. It is equipped with computers, dictionaries, free printing, and most importantly tutors that can help you with your homework!
PROS: everybody is really friendly, and always willing to help you out!
CONS: everybody is so interesting you may get distracted talking to them instead of doing your homework!9. Library: all dem books.
The library has a ton of places to study, and tons of resources too! With over 1.75 million items, it's the largest library in the state of Alaska! There are tons of nooks and crannies you can hide in and study (or even hibernate). After hours? The Library has a 23-hour study lounge so you can pull an all-nighter to get that project done!
PROS: Quiet and free of distractions
CONS: Quiet is good for sleep.....zzzzzzzzzzz
8. Gathering room: Located in the Brooks Building, the Gathering Room is a comfortable, welcome, quiet environment! Shaped like the underside of a kayak, it has couches and friendly faces!
PROS: You can often find some free food!
CONS: The windows allow you to see people outside having fun without you.
7. Outside: I know what you're thinking: TOO COLD. However, Fairbanks has some great studying weather in the fall and spring! And even in the winter, that cold can be...er...refreshing!
PROS: Fresh air, Vitamin D, embracing nature!
CONS: Hypothermia, frostbite, being generally uncomfortable...okay, so maybe there are a lot of cons.
6. Math Lab: Crunch some numbers!
This is, hands down, the best place to get help with math! The math labopens early and stays open late, and is fully stocked with tutors trained to help you with whatever questions you may have. If you just want to study in silence, it's great for that too!
PROS: Open late and early, really cool tutors
CONS: To get sustenance, you have to leave the building.
5. The Wood Center: Study AND socialize!
If you're one of those people who likes to study amidst the gentle hubbub of people going about their daily lives, the Wood Center is the place to go. With food readily available, free coffee and hot chocolate at the ASUAF office (remember to bring you're own mug!) and lots of events happening, this can be a great place to study!
PROS: Food everywhere, great people watching opportunities, comfy chairs
CONS: You will most probably run into at least several people you know. Can be distracting.
4. Murie Building: A room with a view
The Murie building is one of the hidden study gems of campus. The building is brand new, with well-placed electrical outlets and a beautiful view from all the windows! There's a great coffee shop on the first floor too!
PROS: The view is beautiful and there's always space
CONS: Its on West Ridge, fairly far away from the center of campus.
3. The Student Recreation Center: work harder.
The SRC is a great place to get into shape, exercise off excess energy, and focus. Some people find that studying while moving helps them remember everything better! And learning anatomy and physiology will really sink in as you exercise muscle groups. Feel the burn!
PROS: You can get great abs AND full points on your quizzes
CONS: Professors don’t like you to turn in your homework covered in sweat.

2. The Nook:Study Nanook style!
The Nook is snazzy, new, and awesome! Lots of new computers, printing, and a cheery atmosphere! And OIT is right down the hall if you happen to have any computer problems.
PROS: Vending machines, computers, printing: everything you need is in one place.
CONS: This study zone can fill up fast!
And the Number 1 place to study on campus is...
The Bathroom: killin' two birds with one stone.
Let your studies of natural gas and the digestive system really sink in! (And don’t forget to flush!)
