spring123April 5, 2016If you need to study at night with a computer,go to the second floor after 9 p.m, it's more quiet than the first one. It's also good having starbucks nearby to get snacks and coffee for late study.
The first, second and third floor have been renovated. Looks nice, but if your looking for a really quiet place to study basement all the way to the back is the best spot to go.
Avoid the front of the library because series there are these guys who like to preach all kids of different beliefs and it can get pretty unholy of there are two that have disagreements!
Hard to find a table or a desk near an outlet. Computer dies fast when it isn't plugged in all day
If you donate antique weapons, make sure they're demilitarized. Nobody wants explosives in Special Collections, as they can reduce the lifespan of fragile things such as incunabula and archivists.
The second floor is entirely renovated with 100s of computers and tons of study tables and couches. Better than the first floor.- Kinwo MuiNovember 30, 2011The sixth floor is not limited "super quiet studying", it seconds as the best place to take a nap. Thank me later :)
The second floor used to be cool, and now they remodeled it. I'm sure it looks good in brochures and on tours for prospective students- but it's function is honestly a joke. They need more tables.
Dinh DuyAugust 5, 2016TURN IT DOWN! ( the A.C). Its Waaaayy to cold in here.. And yeah, Bring a Blanket, not a hoodie. Simply not enough. Otherwise, love their 24 hours.
University of South FloridaSeptember 22, 2011Get your study on in Club LIB after hours! The USF Tampa Library is open 24 hours Monday through Thursday for students.
- Get here early and get a study room because its hard to find a quiet place to talk!
- Love the new 2nd Floor! Also 4th floor is quiet to study, but Really Cold!!
- University of South FloridaOctober 21, 2011Thirsty? Fill your water bottle with filtered water at the hydration station on the first floor of the Library!
The IT people are miracle workers. Fast & smart & polite. Young people with great futures.
I you want to talk in the library, do it on the 1st floor. Do not take your baby mama drama phone calls on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th floor. It's finals week give me a fucking break!
All 5 floors are now open after midnight during 24 hour nights. Enjoy not being cramped with everyone on the 1st floor anymore.
Eli WNovember 8, 2011If you want someplace really quiet, the very back of the basement is a good study spot!- University of South FloridaOctober 24, 2011Forgot a pencil? Hit up the vending machine by the entrance on the first floor. It dispenses school supplies!
Don't forget to bring a hoodie. It feels like an igloo inside!!!
Celina VollickAugust 25, 2010Bring earplugs because even though the 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 floors and the basement are quiet areas there are rude students who continue to answer their cell phones and talk on the quiet floors, which ma
The basement is always dead silent and your phone won't work down there if you really want to study. It's freezing though so bring a hoodie!
Level 3 has excellent quiet areas for private study and a fantastic selection of Religious Studies materials available.
Sam VafadarSeptember 16, 2010I would just avoid the first floor all together if you're interested in actual studying. Find your nook in the upper levels and feel free to tell cell phone users and other inconsiderate ppl to STFU.
2nd floor is the best place to study. Not cold and always quiet. 5th floor is really stuffy.

The 5th Floor is perfect for studying, not too cold, not too warm
antonniatte tetiMarch 21, 2013Around 12pm computers are always filled so try and come a little early
Samara NelsonFebruary 8, 2013You never win on the 2nd floor.. 5th floor cubicals: discover test banks
Never come here without headphones or earplugs, it's usually the best place for people with 0 interest in studying to scream about their recent hook ups.
The Trevi Fountain even thinks there are too many people trying to sell crap outside of this building
Women's bathroom on first floor was one of the dirtiest I've ever been in...
USF PRSSASeptember 22, 2010Interested in entertainment, sports, or social media? Check out USF PRSSA meetings on the second Wednesday of the month in MSC 3711 at 6pm.
There is no such thing as a 'quick print' here. Better to use the print lab on the 4th floor of Cooper.
Perfect way to piss the janitor off is going inside the bathroom when theres a wet floor sign up next to it..
Bring headphones even if you're in the study rooms because the walls are paper thin.
Got to the 5th floor and look out the south windows and find Busch Gardens roller coasters!
