The Best Study Spots of College Station

By -
As college students, we are always searching for a new place to study or get some work done. Texas A&M’s campus is great, but the libraries can get pretty monotonous. With finals around the corner, it seemed that an updated list of the best study spots was necessary!

Sweet Eugene's House Of Java



A personal favorite for most of the College Station area, Sweet Euguene’s provides a great cup of coffee and an eclectic atmosphere. Get here early! The tables and couches fill up fast. P.S. try the blueberry donuts!   


Lupa's Coffee

Another popular coffee spot, Lupa’s is a great study space! From small to large tables and a few cozy couches, you’re bound to find a seat here. They also have tables outside if everything else has filled up! 



Minuti



If you're a fan of Italian coffee, this is the place for you! Minuti has a large amount of small tables for studying. If you're interested in a study break, try the gelato!


The Brew Coffeehouse


The Brew comes with a cozy atmosphere and plenty of coffee options! They've recently opened up even more space, with large tables for groups. Not only that, but if you need a room for a group project, they have one available for reservation! 

Denny's



A restaurant? As a place to study? Yep. We live in a college town, and Denny’s accommodates. They have a study room in the back, and the coffee is good and cheap! Plus, who doesn’t want a side a pancakes when you’re pulling an all-nighter? Make sure to ask your waiter for the wifi password!


Barnes & Noble


Barnes & Noble off Texas Ave. has quite a few tables for studying. Typically, it's not overwhelmed with people, so its a nice place to go if you want some quiet. They also have a Starbucks for your caffeine needs. Plus, with all those books around you might get inspired to study harder.


Blue Baker 


Here's another good idea if you love studying with snacks. Blue Baker has free wifi, spacious booths, and great coffee! With three location in College Station, Blue Baker is a great study spot when you're just not feeling the library. 


The MSC



The MSC is basically another library with all that studying space! From the flag room to the west wing of the building, there's plenty of room for you to get some work done!

Reducing the cost of textbooks is a noble goal, even though it may seem impossible. Within the Department of English and Texas A&M University Libraries, there were a few faculty, graduate students, and librarians who refused to see it that way. They rallied together to accomplish a task: reduce the cost of textbooks for students. With their help, the days of heavy and expensive books dragging students down by their backpacks and by their bank accounts are headed towards a bitter end. The solution is known as an OER, or Open Educational Resource, and it’s changing how students will buy and use textbooks for the foreseeable future.  The Texas A&M University Libraries defines an OER as a “teaching, learning, or research resource that is in the public domain.” Free of charge and easily accessible, an OER can include open access textbooks, but also case studies, teaching materials, media, assessments, and software. In other words, it’s more than just a textbook. An OER can take ...

Dreaming of becoming an astronaut and traveling to Mars, in 2014, her first novel The Girl In The Road was published, granting her prestigious awards such as the James Tipree, Jr. Award. Set in the near-future world in...
