Meegan GFebruary 4, 2014Head upstairs to the quiet third floor and grab table by the windows for a great view during breaks. Or grab one of the computers- the Macs have all of the Adobe CS6 Programs!- Kelsey WeissFebruary 5, 2014It can get crowded and noisy, but you can get coffee and snacks at Java City then make your way to a silent floor to study. The digital production area is great for group work with Adobe design suite.
- AshleyFebruary 6, 2014Java hunt is located in the basement and is a great pick me up while studying. During midterms it gets really crowded and hard to find a quit seat to study.
University of AlabamaJanuary 26, 2014Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library is among the premier research libraries in Alabama providing the latest technology-driven services and unparalleled print and online research collections. Read more- Karly WeigelFebruary 1, 2014The best kept secret is the 4M floor. Usually not crowded and is a silent floor. Great for studying for large tests or finals.
- Patricia ClarkFebruary 5, 2014Want a quiet floor to study on go to 4M. Gorgas library stays open until 2am every night except Friday and Saturday.
Brian HoffFebruary 6, 2014If you have a group project in any class, this is where you will meet. I promise you. It never fails and for good reason: space.
Joi JacksonJanuary 30, 2014The second floor has rooms that you can conduct private study sessions, but the group must consist of at least three people to reserve it.- McKenzie PopeFebruary 5, 2014Like coffee, but don't like the wait? Check out Java City in Gorgas for your daily caffeine fix!
No drink machines and the coffee shop closes at 2:30 in the summer. If you're thirsty bring your own drink or you'll be drinking from the water fountain!
The basement is truly the best place to study. Everyone is creeped out by it so you can be left alone.- Meg RiggsFebruary 4, 2014The snacks and sour gummy bears are much cheaper in the vending machines than at the coffee shop.
Don't sit at the tables behind java city where the staircases are.. Employees always in the staircase having excessively loud conversations
Isabel HillFebruary 6, 2014Gorgas has 2.8 million volumes inside and even offers a fourth floor dedicated to being silent for students.- First floor, Digital Production area, Mac Heaven... Great for all your design needs!
Bring a jacket, its always freezing! Especially on 4M!

Foursquare just told me I live here... I believe it.
Cody WrobleskiFebruary 4, 2014Avoid at all cost during midterm and final weeks, impossible to get a computer.
If you aren't using a computer for homework or a project, please GTFO.

"Get here early and tailgate. This place has turned into a great spot and pretty electric atmosphere at times. Enjoy!"

"The wrap place is the best! But it's closed on Fridays!"

"The cycling classes are my favorite! Be sure to get there early to reserve your pass and bring water because it's a workout! Only downside is limited parking and large crowds during peak hours."
