Library Study at UU
Utrecht University has two libraries to study and borrow books.
University Library City Centre
The white furnishings and natural light make this a perfect place to concentrate.- By Benjamin + 7
- Lobke: “I've had quite a few meetings, study sessions, and all-nighters here. I find the University Library to be a great place to truly focus. Additionally, it's such a beautiful building!”
- Thomas : “Even though I am not part of the humanities, I like to study in in the city center. It is specially beautiful and also located just in the heart of the city, so in between studying one can easily go to cafés or just walk around the city.”
- Benjamin: “The city centre library is a striking blend of old and new, where modern and classical architecture come together seamlessly. Its halls and rooms hold stories of the past, as we learned in one of our first lectures: the building once served as a residence for one of Napoleon's puppet kings during the French rule in the Netherlands. This history makes the library particularly special, especially for students of the humanities.”
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 Studentlife Team + 5
- Camila : “Given that most of my classes are in Science Park, it’s really convenient to have a place to study (with available seats all the time). ”
- Thomas : “I like the space and quietness of the library. I also enjoy walking up and down the shelves. There are always hidden gems to read.”
- 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.”
