Finding a great place to study is the first step to getting work done. And let\u2019s face it: sometimes working from home isn\u2019t a viable option, you\u2019re keen for a change of scenery, or the Curtin campus is just too far away. Here are our top five places to study in the Perth area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. State Library of Western Australia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A short walk from both the Perth Train Station and the Perth Busport, the State Library<\/a> is the go-to destination for the studious, the bookish, and those in need of a quiet space to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its central location, free Wi-Fi, and six sprawling floors full of study spaces, the State Library is the ideal for meeting up to work on group projects or simply study with your friends. If studying alone is more your style, try and snag a window seat that looks out onto the thriving Perth Cultural Centre. And don\u2019t forget to grab a snack from the Ground+Co caf\u00e9, located on the ground floor of the library.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Perth City Library<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While most Perth locals know of the State Library\u2019s study spaces, there is a lesser-known hidden gem just a ten minute walk away. The Perth City Library<\/a>, with its modern architecture, outdoor terrace and stunning views of the plaza below, is the perfect setting for a relaxing study session. Take in the striking ceiling mural, make use of the free Wi-Fi, or simply wander through the seven floors to find the perfect study nook for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Your local cafe <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If silence isn\u2019t your thing, try heading to your local caf\u00e9. Order a sweet treat and a cup of coffee to keep you energised, and set yourself up on one of the available tables. Studying at a caf\u00e9 is best for immersive work, such as listening to lectures or sinking your teeth into the planning stages of your assignment. If you need access to Wi-Fi, check your caf\u00e9\u2019s website before you head out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Your local park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, you just need a breath of fresh air. Or perhaps a chance encounter with a friendly dog. Setting yourself up at your local park is perfect if you have some long readings to do or need to knuckle down and study with some of your friends. Don\u2019t forget to bring snacks, water, sunscreen and a portable charger: you might find yourself staying longer than you originally intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Other university campuses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just because you don\u2019t go to a university, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t use their facilities. If you live close to another university, consider using their campus as a convenient place to study. Logging on to the eduroam Wi-Fi using your student number will give you access to free Wi-Fi on any Perth university campus. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
