From quiet, individual rooms to collaborative spaces, NSU offers a variety of study rooms to fill different students’ needs.
Reservable Study Rooms – Alvin Sherman Library
Study rooms for individuals and groups are on the second through fourth floors of the Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center. Reservations are available on the library website for two-hour blocks up to four hours a day.
“I reserve one whenever I need to focus on a Zoom class,” Geeya Singh, sophomore law major, said. “It makes it a lot easier, so I don’t have to go home and come back to campus.”
Each room is equipped with seating, a desk and often a whiteboard, with markers available to check out at the circulation desk. These rooms are available to any NSU student, faculty or staff, along with Broward County Public Library cardholders.
Collaborative Study Room – Alvin Sherman Library
On the third floor of the library, the Collaborative Study Room is open to all students without the need for a reservation. This space features whiteboards, desktop computers and a variety of different seating options. It is designed for group work, casual meetings or students who prefer a social environment.
“It’s just a chill space I can work on my assignments with my friends without worrying about being too loud,” Singh said.
Law Library Study Rooms – Panza Maurer Law Library
Students enrolled in the Shepard Broad College of Law, including undergraduate students in the law major, have access to dedicated study rooms in the Panza Maurer Law Library. These rooms must be booked in advance through the library’s website and can be reserved for up to six hours a day.
“Law students have specific needs that aren’t always covered by what Alvin Sherman has for everyone,” Christian Craig, senior library assistant at the Panza Maurer Law Library, said. “Studying in the law space surrounded by these resources helps them accomplish their goals.”
Residence Hall Study Rooms – Residence Halls
Many of the residence halls on campus include dedicated study rooms in common areas. These rooms are exclusively for residents of the building and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, offering an alternative to studying in a dorm room or the library.
“They make it easier to do my work,” Felix Cesani, sophomore finance major, said. “It’s closer than the library, but I won’t get distracted like I do in my dorm.”
