Study Space w/Board?
Hi,
I was wondering if there are any quiet places on campus to study with a whiteboard or chalkboard you can use to write solutions, etc. when working out problems. I know the group study rooms in the health sci library have them, but you can only get in if you're working with someone else...?
Thanks!

You can get into the health science study rooms by yourself. You just have to book them and talk to the librarian to set a time interval for you to use it.
Another option is the basement floor of BSB, there is always entire empty classrooms with white boards and chalkboards that you can use. They`re really underused.

Every classroom past 6:30? Your only problem would be gaining access. I know quite a number of classrooms in JHE are empty at around 6:30. Try the first floor rooms in JHE annex (?) and second floor disperse classrooms... if there aren't meetings/workshops going on that day, they're pretty much all day. IAHS classrooms are usually empty too, but may be locked. If you go to BSB or ABB, the only thing that limits you from using the countless classrooms are night classes or random people using the room as a quiet space (in which case just politely kick them out or ask to share)
