Studying is crucial to your college experience, so pick a spot that fits your needs.
The first place that may come to mind is your own room, whether that is at home or on campus. Even though this is a place that offers the most comfort, it could also be the most distracting. It is crucial to be aware of which environment fits just right in order to be able to improve your concentration and retention.
By finding the right spot to study, you can reduce distractions and avoid wasting time. Lucky for us students, Whittier College has several different, great locations that are fit for studying, comfort, and great concentration.
Wardman Library
Wardman Library offers services from desktops, laptops you can borrow, printing stations, comfortable seating—all in an academic environment. In addition to this, the library is open until late at night.
The Quiet Floor: The top floor of the library is where anyone in the area is required to work in silence. This floor offers the peace, silence, and privacy that one needs to get work done. It also has some great views.
Library Study Rooms: These are great private rooms where studying in groups becomes productive, private, and efficient. Whiteboards and HD displays are available. By visiting the room reservation page, students are able to reserve rooms ahead of time. Rooms are located in mezzanine and second floor in the library. You can find more information about them at the circulation desk.

CAAS and 24-Hour Study Lounge
The Center for Advising and Academic Success (CAAS) allows students to enter an educational environment after leaving the classroom. This location offers 20 PC computers and printing stations, and tutors often visit.
The 24-Hour Study Lounge is across from CAAS and offers a couple of PCs, large tables with seats, sofas, vending machines to buy snacks, and restrooms nearby. And obviously, it is open 24 hours a day.
