If you could not Find a Spot in Library...
Every year, the number of the students we have in Koc University is increasing and it becomes much harder to find a place in the library during the exam weeks. However, we have a solution for that.
1- Classes
Honestly, I don't like to study in the dorm because there are so many distractions. If you are like me, there are many classes that you can find a spot for yourself to study. Sometimes, it is much better because when you need to ask or speak with your friend, it is kind of impossible in the library depending on where you are in the library.
2-Cafe Nero
During the exam weeks so many students use the classes, so it also be hard to find a class that you like to study. You may need to walk till science or engineering building. In this case, you can work in Cafe Nero, generally it is noisier but if you do not mind, during the finals Cafe Nero opens 24 Hours and this way you are closes to the need to study. Coffees are really nice over there and they give present to people who share creative post on instagram with the hashtag. So, stay tuned!
3-Starbucks
One more stop which seems far from the university but it definitely works sometimes especially you do not wanna spend any more minute in the university. Then, get ready and take all your belonging to go to Starbucks. Starbucks open till 10 pm now but I remembered that it was 11 pm or 12.00 am. Before you go, do not forget to check it! If you are staying in the West Campus, it is the best place to go to study!
4-Roberts Coffee
Before Starbucks open, we generally go to Roberts Coffee if we wanna go away from the university for some time. It is great as well and honestly, it is much better to study I believe. Especially the second floor is quiet and much better to study.
5-West Campus Study Rooms
If you are staying in the West Campus, going to main campus to study maybe harder. So, you can go to study rooms in the West Campus. Unfortunately, I do not know which building have study room in the West Campus but it is not hard, just follow the students who are carrying so many books with their PJs.
6-Kitchens
I do not know what you feel about studying in the Kitchen but it is really cool because in the some kitchens, there are balcony so that you can get fresh air whenever you want but be careful about the TV. It may be distracting.
You can for sure find more places in Sariyer but since it is quite far I did not recommend you because minibus from Sariyer stops working after 12.
Good luck with your exams!
