Graduate school involves a whole lot of reading at all hours of the day and night. Over the last two months, I have found many different places to curl up with books and my laptop. The location I choose depends the availability of free wifi, electrical outlets, comfortable chairs, and espresso, preferably in the form of salted caramel or peppermint mochas. Here are a few of my favorites:
On campus:
– The Cronkhite Graduate Center Courtyard
– The purple chairs on the first floor of Gutman Library and the quiet study area on the second floor
– There may or may not be a rooftop lounge somewhere on Appian Way, but you didn’t hear it from me…
Off campus:
– The Starbucks on Church Street or in Harvard Square (though it’s often quite crowded)
– Mr. Crepe (Davis Square)
– Diesel Cafe (Davis Square)
I’m sure you’ll all discover a few of your own!
