Untouched Study Spots: a Room with a View

It may have been sold to you on your campus tour as a prospective student, “Collins Memorial Library has 5 levels!” Or you may have heard of its infamous reputation from Playboy magazine back in the 90s, but how many of you have actually made the climb to the 4^th floor of Collins Memorial Library? Tucked just under the roof of our magnificent library, are a few secluded spots of study. Don’t be fooled by the caged storage of maintenance supplies centered at the top of the stairs, take a stroll to the right or left, and seat yourself in a few untouched, plush couches, not yet sunken by the visits of others. Or spread your books on the graffiti-free tables in the back left corners. This place ensures some undisturbed study sessions. So, next time you’ve hit crunch mode and can’t afford the unwanted visits of your peers, pace yourself up the stairs to the 4^th floor of Collins Memorial Library, and let your eyes follow Commencement Walk through the cluster of Douglas Firs stealing a glimpse of Mt Rainer.
