NEIU Ronald Williams library

This is where the rigorous studying goes down. The library itself isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing. Okay that’s an understatement. The inside of the library makes you feel like you traveled back to the 90’s. The carpet is ancient, rusty, and beige. The dust covered book shelves make you wonder if people actually check out the books here. However, this places gets the job done.
A lot of visitors don’t even go to NEIU, including myself. You’ll find students from UIC, Depaul, and creepy old people. If you have an admission exam that you’re are studying for, set up camp here for a few months, score high, and then move on with your life.
The library has 4 spacious floors plus a basement, cubicles for those who are seriously trying to concentrate, shared tables, public computers, and best of all they don’t seem to mind if you bring food. There’s also a café on the first floor in case you need some caffeine!
All jokes aside, this place is a valuable resource and we’re very fortunate that NEIU opened it up to the community.

Love this library! At times it can get a bit crowded. You’re allowed to eat there but some people don’t clean after themselves and it can get messy fast. Open till midnight during finals, that’s the best!

One of the things I love about NEIU is their 4 level of library space. I really enjoy being here and appreciate all the various books you are able to read. I go here so once in a while I will just stop in and go not the laptop while doing research for a class or two.
The libraries hours will change every season but you really have to be on it. I like the fact that Sundays they stay open until 9pm because for someone like me who works, having this time to research is really a good thing.
They are wheelchair accessible and offer a variety of different rooms to study in, or tables that have electrical outlets in the middle of the tables if you need to charge at any time.
Restrooms are also quite available on each floor so for your convenience, you can stay on the floor you are studying on in case you have to «go».
There is also a lab here so take advantage that you can get tutors and information here to make sure you get the best grades possible. Wi-​fi is available so make sure you take advantage of this wonderful place.
