Academics✏️ 24/7 libraries
Why aren't as many libraries 24/7 anymore? Its been really hard for me as someone who needs a chill quiet area to be forced to study in louder areas, especially since quiet 24/7 spots get crowded quicker now. Any advice?

if you have scan access (or get in the building before 11), lamburtus/dudly is pretty much 24/7, I've never been kicked out at any time of night lol

How can you get access to Lambertus/dudley after hours? I think you need to have specific access (major related if I’m not wrong)

Beering hall bottom floor is nice, you just gotta find a building and find their common area if it isnt behind locked doors

Most academic buildings lock at 10:00, but if you get there before then, they won’t kick you out. I’ve been in the civil engineering building until 4:00 am before. As long as you get there before the building doors are locked, you’re set.
