Three little floors for 8K undergraduates. No wonder I cannot find reliable studying seating here. I am forced to balance my expensive computer, food on my lap because apparently this rich hoarding university does not know how to provide ample studying. I have seen people here carry a Macbook, an espresso, and a backpack while perched on a little bench because there is nowhere to sit. It is hilarious that we hoard so much real estate in St Louis yet do not have enough space for the actual students on their own campus.
I studied a LOT in this library when I was a student here. While the institution itself is excellent, and serves the university well, how this modernist slab got built on Cope & Stewardson's gorgeous Neo-gothic campus is a mystery to me. Let's just say that WashU does what it can with the building to make it more pleasant but, for the most part, it's dark corners and low ceilings.
Very nice, quiet, clean atmosphere perfect for studying. However, the parking is not free.
This library is an amazing hub of information and I love that it's open late for people like me who work best at night. There is also a nice cafe that serves food and drinks! Definitely one of my favorite libraries in the city.
Best library ever!
