8 Tips for Finding Great Study Spaces at JMU

Posted April 9, 2026 in Carrier Renovation News, Featured News, JMU Libraries News, Study Spaces News

Even during midterms and finals week, there are plenty of empty seats available all over campus if you know where to look!

Here are our top 8 tips for finding good study spaces at JMU:

  1. Find out where in JMU Libraries you can find expanded study space during finals week.
  2. Reserve a room for yourself or your group in the University Career Center. While you’re there, you can check out their Career Closet for a new professional outfit!
  3. Study in one of JMU’s computer labs any time they’re not reserved.
  4. Check the schedule outside meeting rooms in The Union and Festival. When they’re not reserved, you can use them to study. Just be sure to leave the furniture how you found it.
  5. Try one of the designated quiet study spaces in JMU Libraries.
  6. Use one of the 24-Hour Study Spaces at JMU.
  7. Wake up early to snag your favorite study spot while others are still asleep.
  8. And if you prefer to study in the Libraries, don’t forget we have four locations!
