I love this library. I could (and do) spend all day here. There's so much natural light and room to spread out and I'm not too far from coffee! (Cafe in the basement)

If the basement vending machine is out of Pibb, try the machine on 2nd floor of Smith, its a lifesaver!!!UpvoteDownvote- If you want to lose cell phone service [to study] try the basement. If that doesn't work try the second basement. If that doesn't work try the third basement!Upvote6Downvote
The basement is where it's at. Main level is for freshman, loud people, and frat stars.Upvote3Downvote
Don't expect anything to get done quickly here. Paper is always out of the printer, card balances are down, computers offline, etc.Upvote1Downvote
