Evan Smith, a sophomore majoring in business said, “Life isn’t only about studying and working hard, it’s also about having fun and making the most out of your college experience. I come to the E-Zone very often and hang out with my friends, we love it.”
2. Bruce T. Halle Library: Halle Library is a place where students can study and read quietly as well as collaborate and find a variety of resources.
“Halle Library has great study rooms, throughout my two semesters at EMU I would come here and study and get my work done, I really like it,” said EMU freshman Wijdan Hummadi.
On the ground floor of the library there is a coffee shop. On the upper levels of the library there are good-sized study rooms where groups can collaborate without distraction or interruption. On the first floor of the library there is also the Writing Center and the Holman Success Center, which are great resources for students to utilize.
