With last week’s exams, study areas in the Polak Building, Sanders Building and the library were overcrowded. Students could hardly find a spot. The university is working on a solution, but it is not there yet.<\/p>\n

On a late Monday afternoon, Gijs Mari\u00ebn (21) is learning\u00a0 for his criminal law exam. He sits alone on a high stool in the corner of a former study room. He\u2019s a little tucked away, as it\u2019s one of the few remaining study spaces after the partial closure of the G-building. \u201cI really looked all over campus for a spot, unsuccessfully. So here it is, even though no one is sitting here anymore,\u201d he explains, startled from his work.<\/p>\n

\u2018Maybe room after three pm'<\/h2>

Because the EUR recently closed both the Tinbergen and the G-buildings, the shortage of study places has increased. This leads to long lines in front of the Polakgebouw<\/a> early in the morning.<\/p>\n

The fact that students cannot find a place now leads to irritation among many students. Law student Niek Bonnijr (19) likes to study for his exams in the Polakgebouw, in the few cases that he can find a place. He complains: \u201cThere might be a place after three o\u2019clock, but not before. At that time, there\u2019s only room if you get up at 6:30 in the morning and stand in a queue with sixty people. The app to reserve a spot doesn\u2019t work for this building because many spaces are overlooked.\u201d<\/p>\n
