Looking for a place to study that isn't too quiet or too loud ? The Brew at the Bridge is exactly the right setting for you. You can also get your coffee fix and a few snacks at the same time!

Mark Long

This place has great study rooms . The trick to getting a good study room for yourself on the weekends is if you get to the library at eleven am on the dot. It will be filled within five minutes.

Katherine Cronin

I spend a great deal of my time in Raynor Memorial Libraries. Raynor provides Marquette students with a comfortable studying environment along with a variety of educational resources. Check it out!

Dan Peznola

Working with a group? Head to the bridge . Need some peace and quiet ? Head to the fourth floor of Memorial: one of the best places to get things done at.

Karla Thorpe

If you're looking for a secret and quiet place to study, try the fifth floor of Memorial. It's usually deserted and there are big tables in the reading room if you like to spread out.

The bridge is a great place to study in groups and prepare for group presentations. Just get there early to stake out a table! Not to mention, the Brew Cafe is right there too for coffee

Jonathan Cleveland

The reading room in Memorial is a great place to get some studying done. Just beware of the radiator on the west side of the room...it's relentless.

Jordan Swenson

Memorial 1st floor is an underestimated study spot . Everyone usually goes up to the 4th or 5th floors or down to the lower level, but the 1st floor is usually empty. Remembering that from now on.

Rachel Markwiese

First floor Raynor is the best place to study on campus. It's not too loud but not too quiet ! Plus it's prime for people watching if you need a little distraction!

Hannah Mares

The bridge is the best place to have group meetings . I also love going here to get a coffee and a bite to eat and catch up with friends between classes .

Elizabeth Buresh

A great place to study... 5th floor of Memorial . It's usually pretty deserted and not very much people traffic. It's easier to stayed focused because of the smaller amount of people up there.

Michael Wessel

If you're looking for a nice quiet spot in the library , try the 2nd floor computer lab. It's usually empty after 7:00 and you can get a lot of work done.

Nicole Searles

If you never study here, don't take other peoples usual spots finals and midterms. Just don't study then, since you haven't all semester.

Raynor Memorial Libraries is named for Rev. John P. Raynor, S.J. (1923-1997) who served as university president for 25 years from 1965 to 1990. Nearly 50,000 alumni graduated during his presidency.

Emily Kupcho

Looking for a quiet place to study? There are plenty of spots up on the 4th and 5th floor of Memorial library , and not many people go there.

Raynor Memorial

Theres a very interesting national traveling exhibition about Lewis and Clark in the lobby. Lewis and Clark lecture on April 25th. http://www.marquette.edu/library/news/2012/lewis_and_clark.shtml

Meredith Friedberg

Get here early to stake out a table and that way you have it all night (and possibly the next morning). Don't forget your brew mug! They only allow reusable mugs!

Erin Mcgarry

Reserve a study room for groups of 5 or more at the front desk. Space is first come first serve for rooms with white boards and projectors all you need is your MU ID.

Alexa McKenna

If you want a good spot in Raynor get their early, or stay late. Otherwise Memorial has many good study places . Make sure you look around for the good ones.

Emily Kupcho

The basement of Raynor 's great if you're looking for a group study room , but it's first come, first serve, especially around midterm week. #adpr4300

Benjamin Biwer

Best place to study is in Memorial on the second floor near the windows. You get your own little cubicle and desk and it's quiet !

Matthew Frost

Whether it is Memorial or Raynor, the complex is a student favorite to study. I recommend the 5th floor stacks for a getaway from any distraction.

Jacqueline Koenigs

In the bridge they have a brew cafe , but don't forget to bring your own coffee mug! I have made that mistake too many times!

Emily Kupcho

You can check out study rooms from the library homepage - no muss, no fuss, and it's great for studying in groups.

Need to print out something quickly before class ? Check out Cudahy hall - there are a few computers there for quick printer access.

Megan Stefanek

Don't forget to take use of the writing center! I have had many good experiences there and everyone is very helpful! The writing center is on the second floor!

Check out a study room if you need an area for a group project . The white board are really helpful inside of them!!

Briana King

If you are looking for colored printers they can be located on the first floor right when you swipe in!

Emily Kupcho

Looking for the #muturkey? He's been spotted hiding in the bushes in front of Memorial a few times.

Julie Caan

Don't forget to ask the Raynor-Memorial library research assistants for help when looking for sources...they are an awesome resource!

Kyle Moody

On Raynor's second floor you can see the seals of the various Jesuit Universities

Cameron Kelly

"Where the magic happens." Nothing like a caffeine-fueled night of cramming. Sit in the soft chairs, beware the sleeping foot.

Kelsey Lavinio

awesome here during the summer. no one is here and you can actually get a table to yourself. sucks that they close at 10pm though.

@MarquetteU

The Raynor now offers increased space for 24 hour studying during the fall and spring semesters. Sunday - Thursday the 2nd floor and the Bridge are open 24 hours . Read more

Hannah Rankin

If you plan to meet for a group project , call the circulation desk a day in advance to reserve a room. Finding space for a group can be challenging.

Gem Sa-Nguansat

There are group study rooms in the basement of Raynor . Very convenient and a great place to work together as a group.

Mykl Novak

Raynor Library 's first-floor lobby features the cornerstone face of Marquette University 's first building, placed on August 15, 1880 at 1004 W. State St.

Jordan Reff

Look for a table in one of the rooms surrounding the reading room , fewer distractions :)

Kerry LeBlanc

Looking for a place to study in a full library ? The basement of Raynor is a place that is unknown to many

Joe Scannell

Open 24 hours a day AND The Tolkien manuscripts are here!

BG Slim

I work in the Raynor basement #chill best place to study

Raynor Memorial

The library is an essential service building, so we're often open during snowstorms, check our site for details! Read more

Jackie R.

I wish there was an entrance directly into Memorial, so students do not have to walk all the way around.

Samantha

Don't forget, in addition to books , there are movies to rent here as well ! Free for students

Emily Fitzgerald

Grab a drink and a snack at the vending machines on the bridge for some extra study power.

Michael Wessel

Printwise is down in Raynor....head to other printers around campus if you need stuff printed for now, it should be fixed soon

Grant Worden

Solo cubbies are usually my place to go but during the summer the lib is empty... Sit anywhere

Danielle Allen

Study hard, take your exam, then grab a beer at Murphy's :)
