1) For the Fantasy Buff The Safire Room Is an Enchanting “Gryffindor Room” The Safire Room on the sixth floor of Bird Library offers a panoramic view of campus. No wonder it’s affectionately called “The Gryffindor Room”—a nod to the many rows of wooden book-lined shelves.2) For the Vintage Lover Carnegie Library Is an Iconic Study Spot with an Academic Aesthetic Almost anyone who enters Carnegie Library is struck by the spaciousness of the historic Reading Room. With its high ceilings, open arches and domed skylight, the room bathes in natural light and Victorian splendor.3) For the Caffeine Fiend People's Place Café Is the Boho Brewhouse Backing Good Causes People’s Place Café has been brewing a sense of community for more than 50 years. Based in the lower level of Hendricks Chapel, the student-run business serves up coffee and conversation with casual bravado. 4) For the View-SeekerLink Hall Is a Campus Vantage PointThere’s no shortage of quiet study spots in Link Hall. In addition to walk-in lounges (one for graduate students, another for undergraduates), Link boasts a top-floor hallway with a postcard-like view of Shaw Quadrangle.5) For the Cozy-Craver Mower Passage Is a Sun-Kissed Comfy Spot. 6) For the Homebody, Panasci Lounge Is Syracuse’s Blissful ‘Living Room’. Newly renovated Schine Student Center is called Syracuse’s “living room” because it has all the amenities for student life.7) For the City Lover The Underground Gives Five-Boroughs Vibes Another hotspot is The Underground, located on the bottom floor of the Schine Student Center. The Underground includes a lounge whose low-slung chairs and rich, warm lighting attract visitors late into the night.8) For the Wallflower Eggers Café Is the Spot for People Watching Great food is not the only thing on tap at Eggers Café. Housed on the third floor of Eggers Hall, the glass-lined eatery, adjacent to Maxwell Hall.Source: https://www.syracuse.edu/stories/the-best-study-spots-on-campus/
