Oberlin Students: Discover Unique Spaces for Study & Community Engagement
Oberlin College students seeking a quiet study space or community engagement opportunities have several unique locations to explore on campus and nearby. A recent search found no student organizations based in the Bonner Center, located in the Mary Church Terrell Main Library's basement, but the space remains open for students to discover non-profit and community-based opportunities.
The Bonner Center, nestled in the Mary Church Terrell Main Library's basement, offers a welcoming environment for students to explore community-based initiatives and non-profits. Meanwhile, first-year students can discover their favorite study and relaxation spots by exploring campus buildings like the Adam Joseph Lewis Center Library (AJLC). This library, home to the Environmental Studies Department, provides a calming atmosphere with natural light and waterfalls.
For students craving a break from the academic environment, Oberlin's proximity to nearby neighborhoods offers opportunities for leisurely walks and alone time. The south part of campus features excellent walking paths with sidewalks and homey-looking houses. Additionally, the Mudd Sundeck, accessible from the fourth floor of the Mary Church Terrell Main Library, serves as an ideal outdoor study spot with minimal distractions and plenty of shade. Those seeking a more secluded study space might appreciate the small, unofficial room in the AJLC Library, known for its calm and often vacant nature. Lastly, the fourth floor of the Mary Church Terrell Main Library itself is underrated, boasting a spacious section filled with abundant natural light.
Oberlin College students have a variety of unique and inviting spaces to choose from for studying, relaxing, and engaging with the community. From the Bonner Center to the Mudd Sundeck and various spots within the AJLC and Mary Church Terrell Main Library, there's something to suit every student's preferences.
