The middle of October brings in cooler weather, Halloween costumes and just what every student fears -- midterms. Lianne Thomas has more in this Bobcat Update.
Students across campus will soon be the hitting the books and preparing for midterms. Late-night cramming and last-minute paper writing may be the norm for some students, but there are other ways to prepare for those dreaded midterms.
One source of comfort that provides many resources is none other than Alkek Library. The doors will be open around the clock during midterms. The library offers quiet corners for cramming and larger rooms for study groups. SLAC, the Student Learning Advancement Center, is a place where students can go and get the tutoring they need in order to ace their midterms. SLAC has more than 100 tutors and provides help in science, math, business and writing. SLAC tutor Amanda Barney says the midterm is a busy time. 
SB "If you have ......from tutors"
As we approach the time when it's wise to stop texting and start typing, students should know that the computer labs are also accessible late into the night. Some students, like junior Danielle Heredia, look for a quiet atmosphere when studying for exams.
SB "If I try to go…place for me"
When getting ready for midterms, it may help to get a few classmates together for a study group session. Both group and individual study rooms are available on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of the library.
