As midterms approach, our Zags are hard at work across campus. Here are some of their favorite study spots!
Analisa Placenti ‘26 - The Bollier Center for Integrated Science and Engineering
One of my favorite spots to study is in The Bollier Center for Integrated Science and Engineering. I have found that using whiteboards is a super effective study method for me, and Bollier has so many all over the walls. It also has study rooms which are helpful when I like to study out loud or with other students. It has so many windows too, so I can take advantage of the views and sunlight while I study!
Annabel Salinger ‘27 - Hemm Den
One of my favorite study spots is on the basement level of the Hemmingson Center – the Hemm Den. There are lots of comfy spots to sit, and it is a great place to meet up with friends if you are studying together. Some nights, there is live music, which can be really fun.
Josh David ‘25 - Hughes Hall
Hughes Hall is one of my favorite study spots as a Biology major. It's the central hub for most natural science students. There are whiteboards to think out difficult problems and my professors are usually around in their offices for when I need help. It might not be as cozy as other spots on campus, but in Hughes I have access to almost all the resources I need as a Biology student.
Maria Braatz ‘24 - UW-GU Health Partnership Building
My favorite spot to study on campus is the UW-GU Health Partnership Building. As a Human Physiology student, I am in this building a lot because of my major classes. There are plenty of open study rooms along with places for group study. I love telling my friends about this secret spot.
Rafa Polanco ‘24 - Foley Library
My favorite spot to study on campus, while it may be a boring answer, is the library. At Gonzaga, the volume level is different for every floor of the library. If you want to study with a group, the first floor is usually noisier, and talking is acceptable. The second floor is far quieter and used for individual studying. I’ve always enjoyed how you can easily change your study environment by simply going up a flight of stairs. It creates an environment that accommodates the different ways that every student studies best.
