Reviews
"Really great place to study, the third floor provides a great place for silent study and the first and second provide a great place for individual or group study."
"Noise levels of a zoo. No surprise with an acceptance rate 10 fold that of MIT or Caltech that majority quiet students are subjugated to the ad-lib extemporanea spewing out of the lungs of a few groups of hooligans. And to think this could have all been a down payment on a house, a few years moving up the ladder in the military or on a rig. Absolutely sub-standard. I've been in New York City public libraries where a pin drop would echo and a librarian would kick someone out for maintaining conversation. Typically, if people want to talk in a library, they leave or find a room. Here, if you want a quiet area, you have to find a quiet room. That, or down another cup of coffee right as everyone is leaving and then rush to understand all the material before the parking police come and ticket or tow any vehicles left in the wrong parking spot at 2am."
"A beautiful place to study with a quiet floor, many computers, and plenty of printing resources. The IT help desk is also located in the lobby. I wish there were multiple main entrances into the library, but that's my only complaint with it."
"Good service, good place. Library staff are nice and friendly. They send out survey every semester and continuously make improvement."
"If you like studying in libraries, this one is a nice one to study in. Spacious, with lots of nooks and crannies to hide away and pretend to study in while you secretly review locations on google to improve your Google Local Guides rating. Just kidding! There are also loads of books to check out on all manner of subjects, as with most libraries."
