The on-campus study space has been open for three weeks now since April 13 at both the Liberal Arts Campus and Pacific Coast Campus and students are using it for a noisy free environment.
Daniel Alvardo, a student who attended the study space at the LAC campus said, “I mostly just come here to leave my house since it is such a noisy environment and get my work done here for my classes without all the distractions at home.”
During the pandemic many students have been attending their classes through Zoom and staying home can make it difficult to concentrate or get work done.
There are staff members available every day to assist students with any needs when attending the study space.
Tevia Roberton, student life coordinator said “The study space is the perfect place for students to go during these times where we have been restricted to being at home and for some students it’s not the most quiet or best environment to work at.”
The study space on campus provides a quiet environment and access to computers and Wi-Fi for students who need it.
Another student that also attended the study space at the LAC campus Vanessa Ramirez said, “I come to the study space because I need a noise free environment to work and get my assignments done, so when I received an email that the Study Space was available I came.”
Both campuses are taking COVID safety precautions. Students have to get their temperature checked at the campus screening tents before entering the space and are required to wear masks at all times, as well as social distance.
The few times we’ve taken a look inside the study spaces, about two to six students were using the study space.
With finals week approaching, students have the option to study on-campus and use all the resources available at the study space.
If students are looking for a nice silent place to work on any assignments, study, or use the computer lab the study space on campus is the place for it.
