Nice place to hang out and study with friends. They have free office supplies, printers, and scanners for students. The top floors are very quiet, and the bottom 2 floors are lowder with nice, comfy furniture. I love this place
Popular study spot for students. Great staff and programming- offered coffee and wellness activities during midterms/finals. I would recommend taking the elevator during the summer because you might end up locked in a staircase otherwise.
Really nicely place to come, do research and homework, work virtually or just studying. Is a silent and quickly place. Very well organized, with COVID-19 protocol and 6ft apart, there is also a security guard inside the building that makes the place even more safety.
I still remember the days when I was a chauffeur for my ex-girlfriend. She loved to help out at the Davis Library in Chapel Hill NC as volunteer, but she didn't have a car of her own. So I drove her all the way from Raleigh, and then her roommate picked her up. That went on until she bought a clunker that broke down on the first day. Guess who had to rescue her from Raleigh again? Yep, me. That's how much I cared for her. Too bad she didn't appreciate it. Oh well, life goes on. But those memories are hard to erase.
Yas one of my favorite libraries on campus. I like how it gets quieter with each floor so you have areas for talking and areas for focused work. The elevator is kind of bunk but I really love the windows on the back wall so pretty!
Great place to study, the group study rooms are very helpful if you can manage to reserve one in time. I'd recommend getting your spot at least two weeks ahead of the start of finals season, these rooms fill up very very fast. Also, the first and second floors provide a very laid back study atmosphere for anyone who doesn't like the ultra quiet 8th floor.
I don't know what was going on with the folks working at the library, but it was enough to never make me want to come back here again. Went here to take an exam in peace and quiet. At some point a noisy crowd came in and were practically taking up the whole main hall with how loud they were talking, but the front desk staff said nothing to them. Halfway through my test, there was an announcement that the library would close within 30 minutes. No worries, it's on me and I should have checked the time before I started. I packed up my stuff and tried to open the door 25 minutes to closing only to realize the doors were already locked. There wasn't a staff member in sight. I had to wander around the library until I finally found someone. When I asked them to let me out of the building, it was as if I had asked them to lend me money. They eventually, begrudgingly let me out. I'd advise you to steer clear if you're looking for a place to study in peace.
Eight levels, and dozens of rows of books, hundreds of chairs, and study holes... This library is an absolute gem, and there's tons of books to be discovered here. This is the place you can go for reference books, and while it doesn't have as much new tech as the UL, it's really a good atmosphere for studying and working on projects. For anyone who has read the Name of the Wind, you'll know this is basically the archives... great stuff!
Idk who died in the bathroom but they hated this library. The sinks are possessed to be so awful the water goes down everywhere but the sink . Overall safe walk has my heart
Excellent place to study and work, you have it all there. Also the people who work at it are very nice. The only thing that I don't like is the opening and closing time: it should be wider.
