The best places to study on campus

With exams in mind, we’re here to help you with a list of all the best (and maybe worst) places to revise on campus.

Stirling Uni offers a plethora of places for your revision. Let’s start with outside Santander. These seats come with tables big enough to lay your books on (or even play a game of Dungeons and Dragons if you fancy).

If you want to sit in literal shit, this is the place for you.

However, these seats are stained with the student juices of years gone by. Some might enjoy the ambiance, but I got out of there quickly.

Ya nasty

But nearby you are greeted by desks and spinny chairs, and there’s even the odd plug to charge your phone. The windows offer a great view of the Macrobert Centre bar. Mustn’t get distracted now.

Wonder what’s on?

After that oh-so-long bout of studying, it’s time for a pick-me-up. Stir Café caters for those who prefer a slightly quieter atmosphere to that of Underground. With mini desks and somewhat comfy chairs, you can be sure that once you pitch-up, you won’t be moving for a while.

Need. Caffeine.

After that if you fancy a bit of a lie down head to Undergound, and find inspiration outside the toilets. Armed with your book, you can sprawl out on the sofa between the loos and delve into a world of French/Moroccan diversity. Until you get hungry.

The smell of jobby was atrocious.

For once when I got to Underground I was able to find a free booth, so I did what I had to do. I became one of those people who fills a booth with his own individual presence, not caring about the needs of other groups who may need the space more. The good thing about Underground is that there’s background noise (if that helps you), and in every booth there’s a plug so you can charge your tablet or laptop.

Plus you can order food.

Do you know the muffin man?

Don’t you just love stretching out under a (albeit condom) tree and taking in the beautiful scenery? My back hurt after a bit though.

Condoms don’t grow on trees yanno.

And when you get sick of revising, even after re-fueling, the Union offers a great many services that helps study…

Fuck it

If you need a bit of a kip after that but bed is too far away you can head straight to the golden ray of optimism that is the Study Zone.

That seat reminds me of Davros from Doctor Who

Computers, printers and group study desks with big screens are at your disposal, but perhaps none other is more useful, more needed than the surprisingly sturdy bean bags. Sure, the material feels like sandpaper and the beads kind of just mold to your shape after a while but it was all worth it.

Remember, however in need you are of your caffeine fix, you must never smuggle a kettle into the Study Zone

It seemed almost prudent to progress to the library. You would think the centre of learning would slightly turn down their thermostat every once in a while. The downside of having all those computers is the fact that you will probably leave with sweat patches and a visual migraine to boot.

Aye I see you.

Also, don’t dare breathe on the fourth floor.

Being on the silent floor… Hard Times.
