'I don't have a suitable place to study'

It's worth spending time ensuring that you have somewhere quiet and comfortable where you can study. It is, after all, the main reason you've come to university! You need sufficient space, heat and light for you to study and store your materials.

• If it's difficult to study where you live, talk to your housemates or landlord to see if improvement is possible. Unless you approach them, they may not know there's a problem.

• Is your difficulty connected to excess noise?

• Remember that the Frenchay (Bolland) Library is open 24 hours a day during term time. See the Library web site for details of other opening hours. The Library has many study areas available, including:
  
  
  • silent study rooms
  • quiet individual study areas
  • various types of group study areas.
    
    
• If you have a problem with the study areas in the Frenchay (Bolland) Library, explain your difficulty at the Enquiries Desk. They may be able to suggest a solution.
  
  
• Difficulties with IT should be reported to the IT Help Desk.
  
  
• You may find it more convenient to use the resources and facilities of another of the University's four campus libraries. Follow the links to each campus library at www.uwe.ac.uk/library/info. Items may be borrowed and returned at any campus library, and they all provide somewhere quiet to study.
  
  
• You could try studying in your local library, or Bristol Central Library on College Green.
