Top 5 Places to Study on Campus

  1. IUP Libraries

    It has everything you may need to conduct a productive study session—everything from private rooms to group study areas. Plus, if you need a pick-me-up, try out Crimson Perk on the first floor!

  2. Kopchick Hall

    10/10 space for several reasons, but our favorite might be the whiteboard walls turn the whole room into your workspace, giving you plenty of space to sketch ideas, plan papers, and tackle equations.

  3. Crimson Café

    Great place to meet up with classmates to tackle group projects while getting a bite to eat to refuel your body with the nutrients it needs to succeed best!

  4. Leonard Hall

    Several spaces for individual study sessions. Find a quiet corner, a cozy chair, or a tucked-away table that can help you stay focused and comfortable during the grinding hours before exams.

  5. Tutoring Center
    The Tutoring Center can be the perfect place to get one-on-one support, review tough material, and walk away feeling more prepared. Contact them at 724-357-2375 or by email at hstitt@iup.edu to see how they can help you.

Bonus: Take a break from studying and attend Pancake Night and the De-Stress Fest. Relax and recharge with different activities such as crafts, therapy dogs, massage chairs, and more.

  • Pancake Night: December 8, 10:30 p.m. to Midnight at North Dining Hall
