Though there are many well-known spots to hang out on campus, there are also several hidden gems that offer a quieter, more comfortable environment. These spots include the new area of the science building, the area above the cafeteria, the second floor of the Nunn Business Building, the music building break room, and the School of Education lobby. There are also outdoor areas where students like to do homework and spend time with friends. You may be wondering what makes these places special—so here’s a closer look at some of the best-kept secrets on campus.

One thing you might notice is that most of these spots are located in academic buildings. Many students assume these areas are reserved for majors within those departments, but that’s not the case. These hangout spaces are open to all students, and professors in these buildings have even stated that non-majors and minors are welcome anytime.

Business Building Lounge
The Business Building lounge is the smallest location on this list, but it was newly furnished last year and provides a peaceful space to get homework done. Head to the second floor—it’s located next to the window facing the cafeteria.

Science Building
The new Science Building offers two popular study spots: a glass-walled conference room and a student lounge with charging stations and a TV. These areas are especially convenient for getting help from professors, as they’re located near faculty offices. One professor shared, “Students will come use the conference room during office hours and ask us lots of questions, and we are always happy to answer them.” All of the furniture and equipment is brand new and designed for student comfort.

Music Building Break Room
The Music Building break room is a cozy space that often has coffee available and live music from students practicing nearby. Even if there’s no playlist on, many students enjoy hearing their peers sing or play piano while they work. Walk into the Music Building and you’ll find it just across from the professors’ offices.

Education Building Lobby
One of the most updated spots on campus is the Education Building lobby. Outfitted with new couches, tables, coffee, and charging stations, it offers a clean and quiet environment perfect for studying. One student said, “I love it because it’s close to Jimmy Dean, and I can ask my professors questions while relaxing.” Head upstairs to check it out.

The Caf Couches
Just above the cafeteria, you’ll find a set of couches perfect for relaxing, doing homework, or enjoying a quiet moment between classes. Head up the stairs and turn left—you’ll spot them easily.

Outdoor Spots
