So, I did my library assignment on studying in the Starbucks. Basically, I picked pictures that correlate to studying and to the Starbucks and made them into a poster. I added sketchy blurbs because I felt that they were a little casual and related more to young adults than a straight forward blurb that looked really serious. You will notice that I also added random splotches of black. I did this because honestly, it reminded me of spilled coffee. But that's just me. The poster is pretty chill and casual and I feel that it doesn't make the Starbucks look like a place to just drink coffee and leave. The atmosphere is welcoming and attracts people in with all the tables and accommodations for studying. I personally love the Starbucks in the Hodges Library and I really wish more people would appreciate the space they give students for studying.
I like the study area behind the Starbucks as well. It's kinda a nice little place to study and has great accommodations for snacking as well. However, in my exploration of the library, I found that there are so many nice places to study! While the Starbucks would be a great place for a group, there definitely are better places, in my opinion, for someone to study if they wanted to be alone. First off, if someone wanted silence, they could go to either the first, fourth, or fifth floor. The mandatory quiet could be very nice. But even on the third and sixth floor there are nice places that you can isolate yourself away from everyone else and get some serious studying done. But as far as group study goes, none of the other floors are quite as well equipped as the second floor, and the Starbucks.
