As the semester begins to wrap up, students’ main worry is finals. In order to prepare for the semester exams it is important that students spend extra time studying outside of school. But most students aren’t just reviewing in their own homes. Here are a few study spots around Royal Oak that are often popular with students.

The Royal Oak Public Library is one of the most commonly used places for students to get some work done. It’s easy accessibility makes it a great place to prepare for tests and wrap up work. There are also private study rooms, in cases of studying as a group. The library is a peaceful place with tons of resources if the students need it. Speaking of which, during finals week the library will be open after school, providing students with study help along with coffee and snacks. This is the perfect way to get through midterm week.

Aside from the library, another aesthetic place to study is any coffee shop. Starbucks is an obvious spot for students to work with friends, but its popularity may sometimes cause students to be hesitant to go there. For a smaller, quieter, and more local choice students may choose a coffee shop like Atomic, Royal Oak Roast, Dessert Oasis, or Office Coffee Shop.

One more popular place for students to prepare for their midterms is Panera. Whether it’s right after school or late at night, Panera is a place where students may frequent with their friends in hopes of getting some work done. With a full food menu, students can enjoy dinner while catching up on homework. Nothing like a good bowl of soup to get the brain pumping.
