Study Spots around NYU & NYC!

In a loud and crowded city like NYC, it can be hard to find a nice spot to study for finals, especially among the crowded areas at NYU! Check out some suggestions below and don't forget to ask the Student Resource Center on campus for additional tips!

On Campus:
  • There are available NYU Student Lounges, some of which are set aside for graduate students too!
  • Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, which is located at 70 Washington Square South. You can study in open areas on the lower levels (open 24 hours) of the library or on various floors. You can also study in individual cubicles as well.
Near Campus:
  •  Esperanto Café on MacDougal between 3rd and Bleecker. It has a cozy vibe with yummy paninis and it’s usually pretty quiet.
  • McNally Jackson on Prince Street between Lafayette and Bowery has a nice café area and a great selection of books to browse

USA Today also has an excellent article on quiet places to study in NYC. Check it out here: USA Today's Study Spots!

Prefer to study with snacks? Check out our post from December 2011 highlighting locations on campus that are open late. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can assist you during the finals crunch!
Good luck on finals!
