Sick of Studying?
By Alexis Nowicki & Lizzie Ausmus
Studying is something that all of us must, at some point, do. But if you can’t quite seem to master the timeline of the civil war or the charge of a sulfate atom, a change in scenery may be in order. To help you avoid the boredom (and too-silent silence) of your usual study spots, juniors Alexis Nowicki and Lizzie Ausmus share their top spots to hit the books.
S. University Starbucks
Right next to Pinball Pete’s and Bubble Island, the Starbucks on S. University is a prime study spot. Away from the much busier State St. location, this Starbucks is much larger, guaranteeing you a table. Also a favorite with U of M students, the environment is studious but not too library-esque. Another plus: free Wi-Fi. The Vanilla Latte and Carmel Macchiato are classics, but an extensive drink selection ensures something for everyone.
Espresso Royale
For those looking for something warmer, Espresso Royale on State St. across from the Diag has comfy couches and more food options. With free Wi-Fi and outlets at every corner, this is ideal for those who can’t live without their laptops. Espresso Royale has a full range menu of sandwiches, from grilled cheese to pita wraps and an array of drinks. We recommend the always popular classic: hot chocolate.
Panera
Not having to deal with downtown traffic and parking is a plus for Panera, located on Eisenhower in the Colonnade shopping center. Panera has the most food options and is ideal when studying over extensive periods of time (free Wi-Fi again). It is convenient, but also offers a respite away from Saline. We recommend their selection of Paninis and daily soups.
Saline edition: My Favorite Café
My Favorite Café is Saline’s favorite café, and an excuse to study somewhere else still in-town. Located in downtown Saline, My Favorite is not crowded with the college students. Slip into one of the arm chairs and study away. Along with the inviting atmosphere comes the convenience of a local destination, making it the best place to study only a few miles away. My Favorite has a full menu of sandwiches, soups, salads, and milkshakes.
