303 University Pl (Schine Student Center), Syracuse, NY
Student Center · 13 tips and reviews
iSchoolSU: Great place to study or take a quick power nap. Get there early to grab a table or a chair along the right wall...there are outlets there! There's also a handy charging station for phones.
Syracuse University (Carnegie Building), Syracuse, NY
College Library · 4 tips and reviews
iSchoolSU: Check out the study room near the stacks on the first floor. Be sure to fully charge your computer beforehand, though; outlets are few and far between!
iSchoolSU: Affectionately referred to as "The Gryffindor Room," this stately study spot is on the top floor of Bird Library. It's a small room with limited seating, so get there early.
iSchoolSU: During finals week, be prepared to see why this place has garnered the nickname "Club Bird." The ground and first floors can get a bit distracting, so head upstairs for some peace and quiet!
iSchoolSU: Grab a coffee on your way to class, or stay and get some work done. Great coffee and atmosphere, and typically less crowded on the weekends.
110 Harvard Pl (btwn Wescott St & Cambridge St), Syracuse, NY
Coffee Shop · 69 tips and reviews
iSchoolSU: At night, this place is hoppin'! Head over in the early evening to snag a table and some caffeine and settle in to get some work done for a few hours.
3454 Erie Blvd E (at Barnes & Noble), Syracuse, NY
Coffee Shop · 5 tips and reviews
iSchoolSU: If you have a car, this is a 10-minute drive from campus, and well worth the trip. The in-store Starbucks has plenty of tables and is fairly quiet.
114 Life Sciences Complex (at Syracuse University), Syracuse, NY
College Academic Building · 23 tips and reviews
iSchoolSU: The atrium is always buzzing during the day, but at night, it's a great spot to study. Plenty of chairs, tables, and outlets along the wall.
iSchoolSU: The conference rooms on the third floor fill up fast, so arrive early and reserve a spot! The orange chairs by the windows are also a great spot for a power nap. Plenty of outlets, too!
