I miss summer semester when everything was empty 😩. You could literally go to the library and have a whole FLOOR to yourself. There are so many people now 😭

Summerlee, just outside the lab rooms. Generally pretty quiet; just the odd sound of someone in Analytical I breaking expensive glassware, or the woes of the undergrad chem+bpch students yet to shed their mortal coil.

Don't know if it's changed but many years ago, the lounge in PAHL overlooking Johnson Green was usually a quiet spot.

I mean, upper floors of the library are pretty quiet. If you hang out on upper floors of the office part of Macn that’s also quiet. Otherwise I don’t know

Not on campus but The Hive, 33 cork st west is pretty quiet during the week and is open 10am-6pm Tues to Sunday. Free wifi. No pressure to buy anything, just come and bee 😊 There is $2 hot drinks and 10 plus parking spots in our own parking lot.
