Are you fed up with Polak, and are you looking for an ideal place to study? Next month will see the opening of a new pop-up study area: \u2018Exam Prep Cafe\u2019. Here, students will be treated to free massages, Italian coffee, Red Bull and Snelle Jelle snacks.<\/p>\n

The pop-up study area at Goudsesingel 56 will be open daily from 11 to 16 April, between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. This new cramming paradise is initiator Magnet.me\u2019s nifty response to a familiar problem among students today, which has also been recognised by the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU): the growing need<\/a> for study areas outside the home.<\/p>\n

EUR study areas inaccessible during public holidays<\/h3>

What\u2019s more, the newly-renovated University Library is only scheduled to open on 29 May<\/a>. Meaning that for the time being, free study areas on campus remain in short supply. On top of this, the buildings on campus close on public holidays<\/a>, so that students will be unable to study at Woudestein on Good Friday (14 April) and Easter Sunday (16 April). Students who won\u2019t be commemorating the crucifixion and Second Coming of Christ, and who can\u2019t afford a day off, can now turn to the \u2018Exam Prep Cafe\u2019.<\/p>\n

By the way, according to Magnet.me founder Vincent Karremans, it\u2019s actually a coincidence that the pop-up study area is open during these particular holidays. \u201cWe were basically focusing on the exam period, which for many students is coming up around then.\u201d Indeed, that\u2019s why they hadn\u2019t thought of keeping the place open on Easter Monday (17 April). \u201cBut if it\u2019s a success, I\u2019m not going to rule out the possibility that we\u2019ll open on the 17th<\/sup> as well,\u201d says Karremans.<\/p>\n\t

The location offers room for some 60 students, and you can register via Facebook<\/a>. Spots are allocated on a \u2018first come, first served\u2019 basis.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
