With a massive workload comes massive amounts of studying.

Samford Lawn
Away from the distractions of roommates and your favorite TV show, Samford Lawn is the perfect place to immerse yourself in your studies. With views of visitors, occasional pets, and the bustling downtown scene, the lawn under Auburn’s most recognizable building offers a picturesque backdrop for your study sesh. Settle under a tree with a blanket or in a hammock and immerse yourself in concentration, assisted by the beautiful weather and serene atmosphere. When you’ve hit your study limit, Downtown Auburn is a short walk away. And as the perfect way to stretch your legs, take a walk over for a Toomer’s lemonade. Hey, you deserve it!
RBD Library
The Ralph B. Draughon Library has been a classic study spot for every student and will be for many generations. Situated on the West Campus, RBD has various spaces perfect for studying, ranging from group work to quiet concentration. RBD also houses Panera Bread, which provides much-needed sustenance for students grinding away on projects or papers.
Outside of Langdon Annex
In the heart of campus, you’ll find a quiet, unassuming garden with benches and tables aplenty, right outside of the Langdom Annex. This place has become a sanctuary on those cool fall days and windy spring mornings, perfect for reviewing a presentation before class or spending the day studying away. Welcome to anyone who takes advantage, Langdon Annex is a place for a moment of peace and concentration in the midst of all the busyness. Stop by and try it for yourself!

Be Well, Auburn.
Born and raised in Roswell, GA, Grace grew up with a UGA Bulldawg and an FSU Seminole as parents. Clearly, it caused quite a shock when she decided on Auburn. Almost four years later, neither parent will commit to Auburn orange, but they have gotten on board with the decision, considering how happy their daughter is at her school. Now a senior, Grace is studying Communications and Marketing, with a minor in Journalism, and is hoping to make her way into the Marketing world, ideally in the music industry.
When she is not involved in extracurriculars, work, or school, Grace can be found thrifting, searching for new vinyl shops, working out, or enjoying a great book. Her favorite things include her dogs, live music, sushi, and a great fall day. For her last year at Auburn, Grace has hopes for incredible moments of laughter and learning, with old friends and new ones, as she soaks in every possible moment that makes Auburn home.
