Welcome!

Ever come home from class and started studying when all of the sudden, your head heads starts nodding, nodding, nodding off into sleep? Whether the lighting just not right, the food's not enough, or your dorm feels too stuffy, you need to go out! We've all been there.

And then you start wracking your brain for a place to go. Dorm lounge? Been there. The lawn outside? Done that. Starbucks? So cliche. And you're out of ideas.

This is where Study Hopper comes in. Stop on by. Search through our blog archives using keywords (location, timing, Wi-Fi, ambiance, etc.). And you'll find your sweet study spot.

Because it's never healthy to be a homework hermit.
