Archibald S. Alexander Library

Quiet place and easy to access. A nice building. Would recommend to any Rutgers student who wants to study peacefully without any noise even during COVID.

This is the noisiest library I’ve ever seen. Spent a full day here during the finals week and I only was able to fully concentrate and study from 2 to 9 Am. Other than that, This library was so noisy and annoying. I changed my location at least 8 times. Once a group of people were sitting around a table and were talking which made to move to somewhere else. Another time, a girl was talking to his phone on FaceTime and at the same time, she was smoking an e-cigarette! I moved again! Another time a group of people were just laughing so loud for a long time. Next time, there was a guy next to me was listening to music on his headphones but it was loud enough to distract people around himself( have no idea why he came to library if he wanted to listen to music). I just saw 3 people were smoking e-cigarettes in front of me that day. I know they don’t have enough consideration and are there to socialize( probably can’t find a better place) but I expect library staff do something. There were many people that day couldn't study because of this mess. There was a girl that she was talking for 3 straight hours to 4-5 different people at the library. So many people come here to socialize or pretend that they are studying . Whoever is running this library is doing horrible. This place is the worst place if you wanna study. I went all over the library, I even went to basement but it was still noisy. They don’t even provide a portion of library for people that wanna study in a quiet place.

Plenty of study spots and reading material, but can use more power outlets and can get quite noisey between 6pm-12am, especially during exam periods.

Great library! I like using SPSS on the computers in the graduate computer lab. The keyboards are very nice there and don't have any hard to press keys.nnBeware of going here during finals time...it can get packed.

Quiet & spacious. I never have a hard time finding somewhere to study.
