<p>On a recent trip to Dartmouth I toured the main library on a Sunday. All the students seemed to be crammed in the newer part of the library as well as the older stacks. There did not seem to be a free seat in the entire library. I like to go off by myself to study but can’t see that happening at Dartmouth very easily. Is my impression accurate and are there other places “to get away from it all” to study.</p>
<p>There are many many places to study besides Baker-Berry. And most (if not all) are much less crowded. </p>
<p>You have to find a good study spot for yourself. While Baker-Berry is the fallback for many students, the fact is that many (most?) students have another place that they go to study. Also, if you explore the library, you’ll find that there are spaces that most people forget about or don’t know exist to find some solitude.</p>
<p>Don’t worry. Quiet, relatively empty study spaces exist all over campus. They’re treasures, you need to find them out on your own.</p>
<p>Thanks for your prompt reply. That helps a lot.</p>
<p>There are a lot of good places to study not in Baker-Berry.</p>
<p>A few of them:
The upper floors of Collis
Dana Library
Paddock Library
Edgerton House
Kresge Library
Aquinas House
Rauner Library
Sanborn Library
Deep in the lower stacks (e.g., the Annexes)
Side rooms in East Wheelock</p>
<p>And more…</p>
