Photo gallery Students set study strategies
With final exams beginning on Friday and remaining assignments due soon, UW–Madison students descended on libraries and study spots across campus this week in full force. Some found it productive to work in groups while others preferred solo; some kept at it hours at a time while others took frequent breaks. But all had the same goal: To finish strong.

Power Pharmacy Commons at Rennebohm Hall on Dec. 8. Their finals tips are to make time for yourself; get in the library; find a good balance between studying and relaxing; and don't forget to eat well. Photo by: Althea Dotzour

Madden says, “‘I’m an art history major, so a lot of my classes are in this building. I discovered this library last year, and I just think that it's a really nice environment. There's a lot of natural light which I appreciate.” Photo by: Althea Dotzour

Undergraduates Julius Nurse, Alex Yun, Matthew Yu, Ketav Udupa, and Luke Williams study and work on projects at a table in College Library on Dec. 8. As advice for preparing for finals, Nurse says, “Make sure you get plenty of sleep and water because if you have your mind right, then you will study right. If you feel good, you’ll do good.” Photo by: Taylor Wolfram
