The Japan House

Krannert Art Museum

"I've fallen in love with the Krannert Art Museum; it's peaceful, quiet, I can be alone and yet not lonely at the same time. It is a wonderful place to de-stress, whether I want to wander, sit and listen to music, or sketch something inspired by the art all around."

Maha Kalota, Junior in political science and English

The Main Quad

"I love sitting on a blanket with a book and just taking some time for myself. It's also great to meet up with a friend and have a little picnic."

Alisha Alam, Junior in political science

Krannert Center for the Performing Arts's rooftop

Michael Kraft, Junior in molecular & cellular biology honors

The Union

"I really love the basement of the Union because I can find a place to study and get my work done all while eating lunch."
