Student lounges are rooms located within thousands of schools, colleges and universities, designed to give students a space for relaxation and study.

Design contest

The University of Texas held a contest to design its student lounges.[1] The design of some student lounges have even won awards for the architects for their creations.[2]

Impact

A 2003 study on the success of female physics majors found that the existence of a well-maintained student lounge was a marker of high success rates.[3] Several studies conducted regarding gossip patterns have chosen the student lounge as an excellent choice for an unregulated environment.[4][5][6] It has been noted that distance-learning courses should strive to provide a similar environment for casual conversation.[7][8]
