Education shouldn t be restricted to those with the privilege. Rode and walked for 2 hours to get here, just to find out there are no services provided for anyone other than students and facility. This is not listed on the website, google page, or anywhere else I was able to find.

Not nearly enough space to comfortably fit the amount of people in it. Barely any quiet spaces to speak of.
People who come sit at your table without even asking you, which is basic manners.
There are a bunch of open spaces for group study, but that doesn't compensate very well for the lack of pri...

I wish that they had longer hours. Also, it might be nice if they could accommodate to 3 or 4 person study groups with proper social distancing. It would be nice if more areas to study had more plug ins for devices, other than the reservable individual rooms.

Compare to other universities libraries this one is by far my favorite. The quality of the building, furniture, equipment, services is way above average. A great place to study or simply be on campus. Those who said they couldn t find a quiet spot did not look well enough, out of the commons area. ...

Great place to study. There is a good mix of active and quiet study locations. They have vending machines and food you can purchase. Lots of access to books, computers (including VR) and other resources. Great place to study. A lot of socializing also goes on in the 3rd level main room. However it s...

Hard to believe that anyone could think this is a serious academic library. It closes at 8 pm on the weekend and doesn t open until 9 am. A lot of library space has been taken up by cafes. The students really aren t into research or study.

This library has everything a student would need. There is a cafe for snacks. Plenty of study space to study or take a quick nap. Lots of meeting space for group discussions or studies, and of course lots of books and learning resources. My favorite building on campus.

I usually have been going here a lot since no one is there, but lately the staff has not been keeping up with students not following CDC guidelines. There are have been students moving chairs to be sitting by each other and sitting at their own table, not wearing masks, and the staff walks by them a...

Fantastic library that is modern and up to date. Customer service is excellent and it is easy to navigate inside. Even with the large amount of chairs and study areas, it id often full and forces students to sit on the ground or go to other buildings. The Special Selection collection of rare books i...

Would be five stars, but closes at 8:00PM on Saturdays. At a state university with tens of thousands of students a resource such as this should NOT close this early. It has a snack shop and Cafe available. Both iMacs and Windows desktops are available. The general and special collections are extensi...

Excellent with the availability of electronics, even able to check out charging cables. This is the place to go to get free software as a u student.
Very few good quiet places to study, and what places there are are always taken. I have always found a friend here though.

I normally have really positive experiences in the Marriott, but one of the Knowledge Commons Supervisors, Daniel, refused to help me with "lost item" fees that weren't advertised or warned about involving an overdue laptop. I had paid the late fees I'd accrued, but I had never heard of this fee poi...

This library is very quiet and there is a lot of space to study. They also have places for group study where you can make more noise. I like how they have a cafeteria in the first floor. It is a great place to study for long hours.

Great place to come study. The environment is easy to focus in with little to no distractions. There are lots of computers and spaces to study. I like the 2nd level where all the computers are. It's open until 1:00 a.m, so I'm able to get More

This is truly a fabulous library. The sheer amount of books and journals you have access to is very thorough for a graduate student, and the study areas are really top notch. They have group study rooms available, private quiet floors, areas you can eat, areas you can ride a bike while studying, a p...

Great place to study. If you are looking for a quiet spot try the grand reading room on level 3 or behind the reserve desk on level 2. Also there is a family reading room that students with kids have access to with computers and toys in it.

While going to the U, this was one of my favorite buildings. Lots of study spaces for groups and singles. Librarians are very knowledgeable and resources can be found very quickly. 3D printers, Mac, PC, and Linux labs, writing labs, cafes, and more can be found here.

Not gonna lie, love this school. Very diverse which is something I like seeing. But college is a time when children become adults, and also learn where they fit in society, Along with where they fit on their political views. I used to consider myself very Democratic growing up. But now that I've had...

As a student at the U, I go here for almost everything. One of my favorite things about the library is the ability to reserve study rooms for groups, specific to what you need. For example, there are rooms on the 2nd floor of the library that have Mac's and screen on the wall that it is attached to ...
