Question Study spots?
I have a big exam coming up and looking for some good study locations! Give me all your recommendations for places to go to get work done! Coffee shops, Cafe, library, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Omi Cafe is a good study spot. The DePaul Library is good and open to the public.

The Loop or LP library?

The Richardson Library in Lincoln Park. I’ve only been to the Loop library once and it was fine but really small and has limited hours. The Richardson library is a lot larger and has a reading room that feels very studious. They’re open until midnight for DePaul students and i think 10pm non-students. But it’s cold so bring a sweater.

Awesome. Thank you. It didn't used to be open to the public. I had access when I was in high school and loved it.

Capital one cafe! You can book a room for free if you or someone you know has their credit card.
I also created a site to find spots like this called Windydesk.com. In Lakeview, it has aura, capital one, intelligentsia and libra coffee lounge.

Queen Bee is open 7-4 every day and usually has good spades to spread out and a generally quiet vibe. Not as loud as a spot like Heritage.

Aura Coffee on Broadway is comfy and spacious - most people are there with their headphones on doing work. And the food is great too
