As autumn settles over Lake Forest Academy, students scurry between classes, backpacks heavy with homework. The leaves crunch underfoot as students search for the perfect place to study—and there are many amazing spots on campus, each catering to different preferences.
Here are some of the best places to study this fall, depending on your style:
For those searching for a scenic study spot, the library offers a fantastic view of the changing outdoors. Students can sit at one of several tables located across from a window and watch the leaves shift colors while they work, appreciating a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The library is ideal for the silent studier—an area to work with minimal distractions and plenty of natural light.
Upper Reid stands as another quiet option, but with a different tone. With softer lighting and fewer windows, it feels more tucked away and cozy. Though there is the occasional English class doing group classwork in the hallway, the large tables that line the center are typically unoccupied and make great places to study—either alone or with friends. Students who prefer a less crowded, more intimate setting may find Upper Reid a comfortable place to settle in and focus.
Even the library or Upper Reid can be loud at times; the quiet hum of conversation from students collaborating on homework or sitting with their friends can break the stillness, making it less optimal for those who need complete focus. In this case, Lower Korhumel offers a fantastic alternative. Usually occupied by only a few students, it offers near-silence and is ideal for those who want to work with minimal interruptions and interaction with others.
School work can be social too, and that is when ACE comes into play. Perfect for meeting up with friends after a long school day, students can sit at one of the many tables in the lobby and study as they catch up. The space is lively and open, making it excellent for group projects, reviewing notes together, or simply working alongside others. For those who prefer an engaging environment—with some chatter in the background—ACE is the place to be.
The Garden Room also is a social spot, though more peaceful and isolated than the athletic center. With its large windows, detailed architecture, and view of the stunning gardens, it’s a bright beautiful area to study in. Students can gather here in small groups to enjoy the quiet ambiance, a balance for those who want a collaborative study location without the noise and hustle of busier campus spots.
No matter your study style, Lake Forest Academy has a place for you this fall. As the school year progresses and final exams approach, take a moment to explore these spaces, and find the best location to make your study time both productive and enjoyable.
