	+ ----- + I've never had roommates so I've never actually needed to get away from them to study. That said, I like the 24 hour reading room when I need motivation to do work that I would otherwise shirk off and watch TV. If you come between the hours of midnight to 1 AM, there's a good chance the group study or auditory room will be open. I really don't care if I come alone. Fact is, if people noisy in the main room, I'm not going to respect them by subjecting myself to mindless chitter chatter when there's a perfectly good quiet room no one is using. I like that it's uncomfortable here; it gives me more motivation to get done and go home. -- SBS

There's almost guaranteed seating with the rows and rows of tables and chairs and you're guaranteed to not fall asleep with the bright lights. The major drawbacks are how much it echoes and how often other users are not quiet. There are also stations connected to campus internet and electrical outlets so it's laptop friendly too! It does have a group study room and an auditory study room so there isn't a lot of loud talking that goes on. + + If you're going to study in the 24 hour reading room i would recommend head phones or some other means of blocking out the echoes of coughs and sneezes.
