Hi all!
Just trying to figure out a quiet place (that is open kinda late) where I can study. The libraries seem to close fairly early, and I am distracted in places like coffee shops.
I live in the SF Bay area in California... any suggestions?
Thanks VERY much!

You should check into other local university libraries.Some might be open even until like 12 a.m.

Most Universities have a study section of the library that is open 24 hours. Pretty sure SF State does.

lots of universities are open til 12AM....
even like a quiet bar could work, or I've been known to study at a park in my car during the sunlight hours...

I say stay at home and wear a pair of ear silencers or ear plugs. I live with a very annoying brother who does everything loud...listen to music....watch tv...talk on his cell phone. I just put on a pair of ear muff silencers when I want to study and its as if he doesn't even exist.

I LOVE this idea... I have a very annoying 16 year old brother who also does EVERYTHING loud. He also really enjoys playing Rock Band (which is awesome) and the pinging of those drum sticks makes me a little suicidal,:sfxpld: lol... j/k (but close)! I think I will DEFINITELY try this, I usually just try to tone him out, but that doesn't always work.
Thanks!!!

I often go to the coffee shop in Border's bookstore. They're open till 10 or 11 and by later in the evening they're usually pretty quiet.
Peace,

I don't do late nights very often, but when I do it is IHOP, Dennys, or other 24 hr breakfast type restaurants. IHOP has a great never empty coffee pot for $1.75 :) Or I just stay home and turn all the lights on and brew my own coffee and make snacks so I stay awake.
