Finding the perfect study spot can make all the difference in your academic journey. Whether you’re cramming for an exam like most students actually do during exams after chilling throughout the beginning till the middle of the semester, prepping for a test, or simply catching up on classwork, a peaceful and productive environment is key.
That’s why I’m going to take you on a lovely tour around Delta State University (DELSU), exploring the best study spots where students like you focus and get serious during free time, exam periods, and everything in between.
I know certain students like to study at home instead of looking for a study spot in school, but this might not work for others who are tempted to be on their bed.
Now let’s dive in to see all the best study spots at Delta State University!
1. University Library (Site III)
The Delta State University Mega Library is arguably the most popular and ideal place for serious studying. Located in Site III, it offers a serene atmosphere, good reading spaces, and vast collections of textbooks, research materials, and journals. Whether you’re preparing for exams or writing a paper, the library provides the perfect academic environment.
Key Features:
- Quiet and structured study area
- Free access to academic resources
- Internet access for research purposes
- Extended opening hours during exams
2. The JUPEB Classes (Site II)
The Jubeb classes opposite the Student Union Government Building (Site II) are a great option. You can find different study nooks and corners within the building where you can review your notes or group study with friends. It’s especially useful if you enjoy a bit of background noise while studying.
Key Features:
- Access to student amenities (café, convenience stores)
- Less formal, group-friendly study spots
- Proximity to relaxation spots for study breaks
3. Lecture Halls (Across All Sites)
When lecture halls aren’t in use, they can serve as great study spaces. These halls are available at all three sites and offer ample seating and quiet time to focus on your work. Arrive early in the day or in the evening when classes have ended for a peaceful environment.
Students also go for night reading (popularly called “awoko”) in these lecture halls, although not all faculties or departments allow students to prep for exams at night using their lecture halls. These are a few examples of lecture halls located around campus: the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS lecture halls), the Faculty of Pharmacy, the Medical Laboratory Science lecture halls popularly known as “pharmacy blocks,” the Weekend Hall, the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences lecture halls, the Faculty of Education lecture halls, the Faculty of Art lecture halls, and the Convocation lecture hall.
Key Features:
- Spacious, well-lit, and ventilated
- Available during non-lecture hours
- Free and accessible to all students
4. Outdoor Study Spots (Site II & III)
If you prefer studying outdoors, DELSU has various shaded areas and gardens where you can set up and enjoy the fresh air. One of these places in Site III is the “Zenith leisure park.” These are ideal for students who like studying with natural light and a bit of scenery.
Key Features:
- Open-air environment, perfect for brainstorming
- Access to outdoor seating areas
- Calm atmosphere for casual reading or group discussions
5. Hostel Study Rooms (Site II & III)
Most hostels on campus offer dedicated study rooms for residents. These rooms can be an excellent spot to study late into the night without the noise distractions.
Key Features:
- Available to hostel residents
- Open late into the night
- Perfect for late-night study sessions or exam prep
