As we’re now well into the year, you may still be trying to get back into a studying routine after the Christmas break. If you find yourself in that position, don’t worry, you aren’t alone! There are plenty of students up and down the country adjusting back into a study routine ahead of their upcoming exams. Many students find that studying outside of their normal environment can be extremely beneficial, and there’s actually some science to back this up!
Switching up your study spots can have several benefits including:
- Reducing stress levels
- Reducing potential distractions
- Increase awareness & focus
- Create memory cues for particular subjects
- Increase information retention
With so many benefits of studying in other spaces, where are the best study spots in Hull?

The Brynmor Jones Library
The Brynmor Jones Library is the main library at the University of Hull and was opened in 1929. The 7-floor library contains over a million books, plus other reference materials and a large number of open-access computers for students and even offers panoramic views of the whole city on the top floor. The library has multiple study spots including the cafe, computers and quiet rooms, there’s even a British art gallery to break up your study time. One of the best things about the library is the 24-hour access, perfect for those inevitable all-nighters you’re going to be pulling to meet your deadlines.
The Deep
If you’ve been studying Hull for the last few months, there’s an extremely large possibility that you’ve heard about The Deep. Billed as ‘the world’s only submarium’, The Deep is home to thousands of marine animals including penguins and seven shark species. The main cafe at The Deep offers spectacular views of the Humber Estuary and is the perfect place to switch up your study spot. We’d of course recommend taking a walk around the aquarium for a unique experience however if you just want to use the cafe to study, you can visit the main cafe without needing to pay for the main attraction.
