University Library City Centre
The white furnishings and natural light make this a perfect place to concentrate.- By Vito + 6
- Fayruz : “They say struggling with other people is better than struggling alone so I come to the library to remind myself that it is not just me. It is everyone and if they can do it, I can also do it. ”
- Sarthak: “This place can be quite a maze, but there are study rooms located in Drifts 21 and 25 that many people are not aware of. These rooms are typically less busy than the main parts of the library, making them a convenient option to keep in mind.”
- Vito : “I really enjoy attending lectures here, and in the room of my study association, I can relax and hang out with my fellow students.”
University Library Science Park
The University Library is no longer only a building full of books, but also a centre where people meet and exchange knowledge.- By Sanne + 4
- Jiani : “The library at Science Park has a stylish design, featuring large windows and good lighting. In my opinion, the 6th floor is the best area to study due to its topmost location, which offers an amazing view. The library has individual study spaces, a separate room for groups, and easy access to printing facilities. Additionally, there are food trucks located downstairs. It is an ideal place to study!”
- Studentlife Team: “Don’t forget to book your seat during the exam period! Science Park library is students’ favorite place to study so make sure to save your spot.”
- Sanne: “The library is one of my favorite places to be at the campus, especially when on an exam period. I really enjoy the silence it offers. ”
