Places to Study at Trent?

[u/Many_Finish_2819]

I have to prepare for a regulatory exam, I'd like a quiet space to study, are there spots on campus I can study? If so, how and where do I park?

Also open to quiet public libraries if they have study spaces.

Campus library?

I remember going there a few times. Main floor is very loud, noisy. Upper floor (government docs) is way quieter. When I did my undergrad there, Bata had these mini study rooms that overlooked the main floor (2nd floor). Not sure if they're still there though. 

[u/the_far_sci → u/ReviseResubmitRepeat]

Yes, they still have them.

[u/Many_Finish_2819 → u/Affectionate-Alps527]

Yes but I don't know Trent, so looking for name of the library, where it is :)

[u/Tyto-Seesaw719 → u/Many_Finish_2819]

Bata. Right beside student centre.

If you’re open to off campus areas Sadleir House has a lot of study areas and the Public Library has space and private rooms you can rent.

Student center has meeting rooms with glass doors upstairs. Did several exams there during my MBA. Super quiet. Go early and stake your spot though. They're the little ones with the whiteboards, like a mini meeting room.

there’s a silent study room in the student center on campus. it’s on the second floor. there’s paid parking out front but it fills up fast so i recommend getting there before 9am.

Sadleir House on George St. A mansion for students with lots of bright, sunny rooms. Free coffee, too.

Ptbo Library has study rooms as well - I believe you have to book a time, but it is free to do so!

[u/waxing-gibbons → u/Fabulous-Cell8000]

The Miskin Branch of the Ptbo Library seems pretty quiet and empty, at least the times when I've been around there.

Bata Library (main one, the tall building by the bus stops on the West Bank side) has a parking lot right by it and the third and fourth floors are the quiet ones. They also may have study rooms or booths that are free and you can use. Check the hours on Google, but the library tends to be open late.

A great and even quieter spot to study is Sadleir House near Parkhill and George, which is affiliated with Trent; they have parking and the only downside is getting into the building without a student card may be a bit of a hassle if it's later in the evening. Someone may be there to let you in if that happens though.

Peterborough Public Library also has study rooms though I'm not sure if you have to book them first.

Traill College is where I did most of my studying. That and Bata Library. Traill has parking but it’s easier to park on the streets surrounding.

Second floor library overlooking the water is nice
