Rosenfeld Library/ UCLA Anderson School of Management

My favorite library to study on on campus.
One of the few to be open on Saturdays, during testing weeks open till 11pm at night.
Floor to ceiling glass letting in a ton of natural light, perfect A/​C temperature.
Fast wifi, tons of available seating and chairs, outlets for every station.
My favorite is the open table areas with the nice comfy executive swivel chairs.
Only drawback is that the study rooms are all glass and have no ceilings! Which seems to defeat the purpose of a room. Sound travels easily from there so sometimes if a study group is loud then you can’t help but overhear their conversations.
Otherwise a super clean area that’s filled with studious students so the learning atmosphere is energizing.

This is a very nice library … I’d say miles better in architecture at least than many other libraries I’ve seen. It’s fairly east to find but it’s entrances are a little bit bizarre.
I like the study rooms, but they’re ALL GLASS. Not that I need privacy when I’m studying alone, but I feel awkward that everyone can see me or me with someone else when they walk by including the meeting next to me which is also encased in glass.
Furthermore… these glass rooms don’t go all the way to the top. So if you even so much as whisper, the other people can hear you. Erm. Ok. Kind of defeats the purpose of a meeting room.
Regardless, this place is very modern, well designed, very sunshine filled and generally makes you happy to be part of the library because it’s like a breath of fresh air. I like it very, very much!

4 stars for a library? What?
This place is GREAT for studying. My favorite place to study is the bottom 1^st floor in the book stacks. If you have earphones it’s basically silent and since the tables has big dividers, it’s pretty hard to be distracted by others. It’s for sure not as packed as Powell during finals and it definitely gives a better vibe in my opinion.
The other floors have big tables for many people study on (more like powell). There’s also group study rooms, which are really cool since you can use their big monitors and write on their walls. Unfortunately, those are reserved for the MBA students (but I think you can just go into one if no one is there).
This is more than likely my new favorite place to study at UCLA.

Lesseee. so this library is usually forgotten by undergrads like myself. It’s quiet and usually has a lot of space. I like sitting in the little private cubicle thingies. There also study pod rooms, but I guess you have to sign up cuz I always get kicked out by MBA students :[ qq
Anyway, apparently the wired internet restricted to UCLA students now, so if you’re a guest, you can only access via their computers on the 3^rd floor or something.
ADDITIONALLY, they have print copies of the Wall Street Journal available every day! I don’t know where, but yes, I have heard that they have it. for you business-​oriented/​savvy peoplez!

Well, since I have no life I guess I’ll start reviewing libraries.
I’m really surprised this library is open to the public (no school ID required to enter, although you need an Anderson ID to access the 4^th floor and to reserve any meeting rooms). This is my favorite library on campus, hands down. Most libraries feel stifling and depressing, but Rosenfeld is SUPER CLEAN, has floor to ceiling windows, comfortable desk chairs, and FRESH AIR. Their air conditioning system is AWESOME! This place gets crowded with undergrads during finals week, but during the rest of the year there’s always open seating.
If you’re an Anderson student, you can reserve those fancy glass panel meeting rooms that come with a flat screen monitor and lots of NICE dry-​erase pens to write on the walls. There are also private study rooms on the first floor available for reservation, but it’s more of the typical library atmosphere down there.
The only sort of drawback to the Anderson library is it’s louder than most libraries because the glass meeting rooms are not completely sound proof. However, the noise level amounts to a comfortable murmur, similar to a coffee shop without any loud music (better than a coffee shop in my opinion).
Overall… Rosenfeld is the best library on campus, hands down — unless you are loud, have bad hygiene, and smell bad, in which case, please don’t come here and ruin my pristine study bubble =)

Best library in which to study on campus, and the one with the longest hours (
). No other library is open on Saturdays during the quarter. Lots of seats, lots of open computers, very clean. Pretty much the only thing wrong with it is all the Anderson students.
I’m kidding. Don’t come yell at me next time I’m there.

This is one of my favorite places to study on campus. Although I get the sense that a lot of non-​Anderson students study here (I’m an undergrad too), the library is still extremely nice. I like the basement/​stacks where you can easily find a desk to study in. It is a GREAT place to camp out/​all day studying! Well-​lit and easy to focus.

I obviously did not go to Anderson – I have no interest in numbers or gift in making money. However, I spent countless weekends studying in this library and taking advantage of free food ranging from coffee, pastries, and cookies to real meals they had it out for their students in one of the halls (on Saturdays). For that alone, I give two stars.
The library itself should be getting negative two stars if possible. This is one of the worst libraries I’ve ever been to. The hours are bad (9 to 5?), wi-​fi isn’t hot, and the chairs are hard wooden ones that do not give any support (and only pain) to your back and butt. Moreover, the security is awful so you can’t leave anything unattended for more than 30 seconds at a time.
For all the times I’ve been here, I don’t think I encountered a single business student studying – you only see bunch of undergrads and/​or international students eating, talking, and sleeping. But what can I say, I wasn’t part of the Anderson community either and was here almost every weekend.
