Places for group study (1 Viewer)

[Honky]

For most of this week, I've been trying to organise a group study session along with a few friends. We had planned to go to one of my mate's house, but he unfortunately had to pull out last minute.

so just asking out there: does anyone know a good place for group study sessions in and around the sydney area??

i first thought of a library, but we can't really talk (which we need to because we are going to be discussing an english text) i know some libraries have rooms just for group study such as fisher library at usyd, but do you need to book in advance for them? - and theyre usually occupied anyway (but then again, it is mid-year recess)

maybe a park?? maybe the grass outside the exhibition centre at darling harbour?? somewhere else in the city?

contributions will be much appreciated

For Fisher library, you don't need to book to get a room.

I am sure you can still talk in many of the libaries...just not too loudly.

IMHO, you shouldn't be talking much in libaries anyway because that just means you are more inclined to soclialise then study...I suggest you have lots to study on individual basis but also to study with others when you want to ask questions or explain answers to them.

oh okay, thanks for the reply
yeah, i know what you mean, we'd would rather be socialising than studying
its for an individual assessment, but to prepare for it, we oddly enough have to work together

Good thing we had a few laptops so we could talk online XD

@OP - the park would be a good idea on a sunny and calm (ie not windy) day only.... you wouldn't want it to rain

Just go in the morning to the study rooms at fisher library and you should get a room

you could come to my house 800km away, or a 10 hr dirve, i dnt mind =P
nah, can't u find somewhere in the library where most people dnt go, i dnt know how crowded the libraries are in sydney but in my one there would be around 20 max lol. unless an event was going on. maybe another mates house? makes freinds with a rich kid and head there =)

Individual study, then go to a cafe, order some coffee, and discuss.

i can never study with friends...too distracting.

I'm a single child, so I study at home just fine. But when I do go out to study, it's usually just at my friends' place.

Why not do the study group at your house?

At home there is the computer, Wii, TV, ping pong table and bed

What about a grandparents house? The only interesting thing they would have is TV, and you could get the grandparents to slap you if you thought about using it.

Bed?

With regards to the other things - self discipline.

Bahaha, yeah we should go somewhere else with no free wireless net XD

@OP - you could always find some random abandoned house or something to keep out the rain
