Escape the noise: Quiet places to study on campus

<p><em><span id="docs-internal-guid-e6221fce-0b63-6d59-013c-a3d5ee05346f">Yup, Owls. It’s that time of the year, when the studying ramps up and the noise seems to follow. Good thing there are some solid spots of quiet serenity on campus. We present you with five.</span></em></p>

1.The TECH Center’s quiet labs. These labs are popular among students, so be warned that they may be full when you scramble in looking for serenity. Check the TECH’s website to see open seats before heading over. Orrr if you have three or more silence-seeking friends, book a breakout room online for an hour or two (or six!).

2. The North Study Lounge. This lounge in the Student Center is a little-known spot located right above the food court. You’ll have to bring your laptop, but the lounge has many personal work stations, plugs for charging and long, comfy couches (just don’t get *too* comfy and fall asleep during that online exam).

3. The Owls’ Nest lounge. A recent addition to the fourth floor of Tuttleman Learning Center, this lounge is complete with computers, a printer, long booths for group projects and bean bag-esque lounge chairs. The second and third floors of Tuttleman also feature smaller lounges with chairs and tables, too.

4. Anderson Hall’s second floor lounge. This slice of sanctuary offers near silence, but do anticipate some occasional light foot traffic. You’ll find four-person tables, couches, computers, a printer and personal work stations. It’s easily accessible from the stairwell next to the elevators and a great convenience during class breaks.

5. The green space beside Beury. Find it near Beury and the Biology-Life Sciences Building. This green haven is a good spot to mix some time outdoors with quietness. Despite its proximity to the new library being built, this gem often has minimal noise. Also available: Wi-Fi access, picnic tables, lawn chairs and a whole lotta squirrels.

Five signs you should study in Rome

<p><em><span id="docs-internal-guid-f8139b9f-104c-4fe7-c8cd-3fd3e531966e">Sei vecchio!</span> Wait, you don’t speak Italian? Right. Well this year is <a href="http://news.temple.edu/news/2016-09-02/temple-university-rome-celebrates-50th-anniversary">Temple University Rome’s 50th anniversary</a> and that means “happy anniversary!” (Actually, it means “you’re old,” but you get the point.) To celebrate, consider studying in the city that wasn’t built in a day! Lucky for you, it’s Study Abroad Week and getting info about going abroad is as easy as ricotta pie. Do you have to know Italian? No. Should you like pizza? Duh. Want to know if you and Rome are soulmates? We can’t help you with that, but here are some signs you should go ASAP.</em></p>

1. You always know where all the pizza is. Any time, any place.
You’re basically a human pizza GPS. It’s noon and there’s a line out the door at Maxi’s—you’re already down the block ordering your slice from Eddie’s before anyone else can Google where to go. In Rome, the roads are paved with pizza (not really, but it’s totally *everywhere*). It’s the motherland of dough and sauce and cheese.

2. Soccer makes you have a lot of feelings.
You kind of think that the new Temple Sports Complex was built just for you because you deserve a state-of-art facility to bask in the awesomeness of Temple’s soccer teams. Italy is just as soccer crazed as you are, but they call it fútbol. (Pls, never call it soccer in Rome.)

3. You can’t communicate until you’ve had your coffee.
If there weren’t food trucks all over campus slinging java each morning—or night—you might not ever make it to class. Rumor has it that Rome smells like espresso so you can get your caffeine osmosis style. We think.

4. You want your résumé to be the #best #ever.
Studying abroad and completing internships abroad are huge experiences, and employers know it. Not only will you have stories to tell, but the fact you went overseas also shows you like to try new things and can help set you apart.

5. You need to get your hands all over the most unique hands-on learning.
Listen, we know there are more than a gazillion hands-on-learning opps on Main Campus and in Philly (by our approximation, anyway), but there are certain things you have to go abroad to experience. You can only study the Colosseum at the Colosseum in one place. No matter what you’re studying, seeing the layers of ancient history firsthand will make you view things with a new perspective.

Learn everything you need to know about studying abroad in Rome.
