| - Where to start...
Over the past 2 1/2 years I've probably been here over 200 times. So yes... I can tell you a little something about it! For all incoming freshman, Lied will become your second home over the next 4 years, let me explain why...
Lied has a coffee bean located on the 1st floor. I don't recommend it, they're terribly inefficient and always have a line.
There are 5 floor, all of which are equipped with super fast core i7 24" computers, group study rooms, and tables in case you have your own laptop.
Floor 1: Has computers, large study rooms, and the coffee bean. What's pretty cool is they even have a kiosk that will tell you where to find an available computer on any floor. Also the info desk in the way back will allow you to checkout laptops and other media.
Floor 2: more computers and open tables. If you're exiting the elevators directly to your left will be the tutoring center and also the alumni lounge/secret study area.
Floor 3: study rooms, more computers and study tables and a quiet areas. Quiet areas are separate closed areas of the library where talking is prohibited. Also home to the Honors College and the Hospitality library/research center
Floor 4: More computers/tables, study rooms far left out of elevators, and quiet zones (no talking is aloud, so it's a great place to find a table when it's busy).
Floor 5: The loudest floor mainly because it has the most tables. This floor doesn't have as many computers and no quiet area. But it's still got study rooms and the best cellphone reception.
Overall, this review doesn't come close to covering it all, there's so much that happens in Lied, it's best you set aside an hour and explore it yourself!
Tips:
There is little to no phone reception anywhere behind the elevators, up to the 4th floor. Best coverage is on the 5th or 1st.
