I like to sit in the Ground Floor where everyone is sipping coffee and studying. You can connect to the eduroam Wi-Fi as well. Feels like a mini library!
Sara prefers the library ULB Lichtwiese for its quieter environment, particularly during exam season.

I really like it there because there are not a lot of people and I can almost always find a place in a single room so I can be more focused Feels like a mini library!
Celina highlights another hidden gem on the Lichtwiese campus is the outdoor and indoor hollows (“Kuhle”) in the architecture building. These spaces are ideal for short, informal work sessions, with the added bonus of grabbing a coffee at the student-run Kuhle-Café.

The hollow is full of stairs to chat, work, and switch off.
Tori prefers studying in the Mechanical Engineering Learning Center (LZMB) on the Lichtwiese campus, particularly because of the ambient noise created by other students. The LZMB, which is located in the flat architecture building L3|01, room A99, is divided into two floors, with one floor equipped with sofas for relaxation.
Tori also highlights the large tables available, which are crucial for her architecture work. She points out that the LZMB is an ideal spot for group work, as it allows for both discussion and eating during study sessions.

For me and my productivity, the pitch silence has no positive effect, so hearing the distant voices of other students helps me feel the whole learning process.
Taking a break in the Botanical Garten
Richard enjoys the serene atmosphere of the Botanical garden on the TU Darmstadt campus. The garden is an ideal spot to relax, enjoy nature and take a break from studying.

These staircases are perfect for anyone who loves beautiful architecture and intricate details.
Café 221 qm, suggested by Melis, is located next to Karo 5 and across from the Darmstadtium congress center, is another favorite among students. However, she advises bringing headphones if studying alone, as “the café can get noisy sometimes”.

Here you can spend a pleasant and quiet afternoon in the summer, relaxing on the benches and admiring the beautiful flowers.
For students who like to switch up their study locations, the TU Room Check App is a fantastic tool, shares Diego. This adaptability is crucial during peak times when traditional study spaces are crowded.

I like to change my study locations often during the exam phase, so my days vary a bit in terms of location.
Each of these spots offers something unique, making TU Darmstadt a place where everyone can find their ideal study or relaxation environment.
