Where I Study at Murray State University - Kohei Miyazaki from Japan

Hello, everyone! Today, I am going to talk a little bit about where to study on Murray State’s campus. There are many places you can go to study on campus. If you like studying at a quiet space, our two libraries may be your best choice. If you like studying outside when the weather is nice, we have tables outside the library that you can use to study.

We have two libraries on Murray State’s campus, Waterfield library and Pogue library. Waterfield library is our main library. There are computers, printers and scanners that any MSU student can use at Waterfield library. On the third floor is a quiet space. I like studying in a quiet space, so I usually go here and study.

Pogue library is our second library. There are study tables on the first floor. There are usually not many students at Pogue library, compared to the Waterfield library, and it is very quiet. If you want to talk to your friends while studying, there is a room on the second floor where you can talk and study. This library is beautiful both inside and outside.

Study Lounges in each building

Depending on your major, you would have your own building where you would take most of your classes. For example, my major is economics and my minor is mathematics, so all of my classes are offered in either the Business Building or Faculty Hall.

Many of the buildings have study places somewhere in them and these places are often pretty nice to study. I really recommend you to explore your building. I go to the business building to study when the library is crowded, especially on exam weeks.

Hart Hall Lab
The Hart Hall Computer Lab is open to all MSU students. It is located on the first floor of the Hart Hall. There are computers, printers and a small study place. I really like this place because it is usually very quiet, and they have a cafeteria right next to the lab. So you can study at the lab and if you want to take a break, you can go to the cafeteria and have some coffee.
