Newman Library

Wifi, quite, only during the weekend will be less people. Lots of printing and scanning stations, easy access to borrow laptops.
calculator and other supplies available at library check out window.

The library is way better than the school, but it’s getting crowded. I don’t like the new website to reserve rooms, and why the fu*k don’t we have staplers? I don’t want your stupid paper clips Baruch! Also nice upgrade on the printers.

I don’t go to Baruch but I used my sister’s Brooklyn College ID to get in. It’s really pretty inside, there’s a winding staircase that leads upstairs and there’s plenty of space. There’s the classic huge tables where multiple people could sit and there’s also cubicles with outlets.
Overall a nice and really quite place to get some studying done. There’s also a TON of eating places nearby for when the munchies hit.

I’m so happy to see this up. Good old Baruch library, what would I do without you?
Theres a lot of space, so no worries about getting a spot. The only thing I hate about this library is the students, but theres nothing I can do about now is there? Bathrooms are pretty gross sometimes, though.
I don’t know if its just me but most of the outlets don’t work! I hate going under the tables to unplug a lamp just to be able to use my laptop. Cmon electricity, work it out.
And please be open 24 hours all the time, thank you.

Ah, the Newman library. Where to start? This is my home away from home. I bring an overnight bag and spend about a week bumming around during finals week. Which is why I call this place the homeless shelter. This isn’t surprising since it’s a commuter school and most people just nap instead of going home.
I’m quite fond of the single sofas you can stick together to make a bed, but I hate the people who put all their baggage on their sofabeds but never sleep in them! They just seem to claim the space as theirs in case they ever decide they want to sleep. Shame on them for not sharing! It’s not uncommon to see people sleep on the floors, or Snow White-​style across several chairs.
The cons? Only 1 out of the 4 elevators works. The bathrooms aren’t very clean on the weekends. The outlets are a crap shoot– some work and some don’t. Also, they don’t enforce the no-​food policy very strictly. This is good if you’re the one eating, bad if you’re the one being distracted by the jerk eating halal food in the cubicle next to yours.

If you can get in, great place to study and get other work-​related things done.
