STUDY IN STAMP
We know how tough finding a quiet, peaceful spot to study—or to simply collect your thoughts—can be during finals week. Listed below are spaces in STAMP and in the Memorial Chapel that have been set aside for just that. Feel free to visit and make these spots your own during the times indicated. Time and dates are subject to change. Check out the locations here
These areas are not silent rooms, but we do ask that you be courteous of your fellow Terps while you make use of them. Please clean up after yourself, and don't leave items unattended.
