As a UCLan student

Just moved into Moor Lane Halls or Walker Street in Preston? Take a look at our resident Diya's recommendations for the best study spots in the city, and check them out for yourself! 

Best for group study: UCLan Student Centre

Filled with big social spaces, a café, computer facilities and a range of study spaces, this is a great pick for a study session. The large social spaces make it perfect for group study and hanging out with course mates or friends.

Best for silent study: UCLan Library

If you're looking for extra study resources, then this is the place to go. If you prefer to study alone and in silence, you can find bookable study rooms and individual study pods here. 

Cramming your assignments in the week before they're due? The library is open 24/7 during term time, so no matter what time you're working, you can make the most of these productive spaces. 

Best for convenience and cosiness: Café Townhouse

You can get to this cute café in under 10 minutes walk from Moor Lane Halls and Walker Street, making it perfect if you want to study outside of your accommodation but not head too far. 

The ambient atmosphere and relaxed background noise make it ideal for catching up on reading with a coffee.
