Tips from the A-Team

Study Groups Be aware of any comprehensive finals in your future, and start a study group now. Ask around in your class and you will easily find a few other students willing to get a start on studying. You might even announce a study group in front of the class, which can impress your professor. Optimal study locations for groups include the second floor of the Merrill-Cazier Library, lobbies of any on-campus residence hall, and the “fish bowl” study rooms on each floor of the new library (the rooms have large windows). The rooms have white boards and big tables to accommodate study groups. Some rooms even have a computer and large screen. Study rooms are extremely popular, so reserve them in advance at http://library.usu.edu/main/group_study_rooms/.
