- Texas A&M Sterling C. Evans Library & Annex
Location: 400 Spence St. Main Campus near the Central Campus Garage
The Evans Library is a brisk walk from the hot spot of campus other than the MSC or Memorial Student Center. This is primarily because the bus stops all lead to the MSC. The Evans Library and the Annex are connected but it can also seem like two different buildings. What makes the Annex a special place to study is that it is easier to get a table than in Evans or other locations. The study rooms are glass and nicely furnished with equipment. With easier access and better comfort, it is one of the best places to study at. There are 6 floors making it a large establishment and a great selection of spots to study with groups of friends. Be careful for some places have quiet zones where students are not supposed to talk while studying.

2. Sweet Eugene’s
Location: 1702 George Bush Dr. E, College Station, TX 77840
The benefit of studying at coffee shops is that they usually stay open late. Sweet Eugene’s closes at midnight which is great for procrastinators waiting for the due date at 11:59! Coffee shops offer mid-study snacks and drinks… and free restrooms. It is also a great way to have background noise if that is the type of study person you are. You can also meet many different types of people at coffee shops. Their food and drink orders come out fast and they have their own wifi! They also have a variety of foods and drinks. I was surprised to find donuts on their menu!

3. Memorial Student Center: The Flag Room
Location: 275 Joe Routt Blvd, College Station, TX 77843
The Flag Room has nice tables furnished with charging sockets and free chargers for students which is a huge benefit if you forget your own charger and have a low battery. It also has live piano music which I find very relaxing and nice. You can often find students sleeping in the flag room. It is also nice because no food and drinks are allowed in the flag room which does keep it very clean. The benefits of studying with calm classical piano live music mainly include stress relief in my opinion. A good and positive mindset is the most important thing to be productive and get work efficiently done in my opinion.
