| - Wait, a review about a library?! Me?! How could I? Well, I think this review is long overdue. Yes, I rhyme on purpose because it's worth it. Wait. I did it again *smug face*
Okay, to be serious I spend a majority of my life here. Not usually by a choice, but it's the only place I can get some quality study time in. I began coming to the Lied Library in 2008 when I was an adorable freshman, now that I've blossomed into a study king I can now say that I have a positive place. I've studied on each of these floors that I can probably break it down for you.
First Floor: Loud and lots of traffic, as expected. It has the Coffee Bean with awesome employees and also houses the security who are all cool except the girl who is too wannabe thug for her own good. Overall, first floor is a decent experience if you are not trying to do some heavy studying, they do have study rooms scattered along the back.
Second Floor: The hang out spot it seems, it is where most social lives take place when studying. There aren't any study rooms, but there's ample space to get actual studying done. The new Graduate Lounge is also located on this floor, which I should try going in.
Third Floor: This is where I actually spend most of my time these days. This is considered one of the two quiet floors. There are study rooms and I always get plenty done. Is it lame that this is my favorite part of the library cause I don't really have to talk to anyone? Oh well haha.
Fourth Floor: I call this place the arctic. Same thing as the third floor, but of arctic conditions.
Fifth Floor: The busy, "I don't wanna do anything but socialize with my bro's" floor. I hate the top floor for that reason. A majority of the people up there don't open a book. They just mess around and waste their own money, or parents money for that matter.
Overall, UNLV has a fairly decent library and I have no complaints except that I wish it was 24 hours. I know that comes at a huge cost, but it's my only complaint.
