Unfortunately I can only give you a somewhat negative review of the study areas. There are maybe 20 individual study rooms. They range from 4 chairs up to like 12 person rooms. Most days they are completely full of students. Some with a group of students studying and some with only 1 or 2 students in them. Also, we share the building with the nursing school and that just adds to the number of people trying to use these rooms. It is a tolerable situation this year but next year it will be difficult to find quiet study areas. We also have a few common areas with comfy chairs to study, but if you don't like being around noise or get easily distracted, those are not ideal. The med school does not have it's own library since we are a paperless school. All our books are on our iPads and we have access to a virtual library filled with books. The campus library is usually full of undergrad students so I only go there when I absolutely have to (only 2 individual study rooms over there, too). They are building an alumni center right now that should be opened next summer so that should help with having some extra study space. So it's a little frustrating to me, but some students may not have a problem with it. Depends how you prefer to study. Some students study off-campus all the time or at coffee shops. Personally, I prefer to study on campus in a study room.
Our student orgs are getting up and running now. Basically, you name a club and we have it. (SOSA, FM, Peds, volunteering, Timmy Global Health, SGA, SOMA, SAAO, etc etc). And I know there are intramural sports here, but I'm not involved in them so I can't give you a lot of detail on that. I do know that the med school has 2 flag football teams that play weekly though (vs the undergrads).
Hope this helps!!!!
