Student lounge

There is a no place to spend free time such as reading, playing, resting and sharing thoughts with others in our school. If there is a unused free space at school students really would like to have a student`s lounge and everyone ready to help in many ways. Students union could handle it and solve this problem.

When we have a student lounge at school  we need conference table and chairs. This enables students and staff to present their project proposals and reports. It also enables those with special academic talents to present their ideas and projects to staff, financiers, and employers. In addition, the conference tables and chairs provide students with a nice arrangement for group discussions.

Also we should have couches, chairs, and white boards.. The couches and chairs enables students read, rest and socialize, while white boards enable students to demonstrate their discussions through writing. As all work but no play makes jack a dull boy, socialization and resting enables students to relax their brains and prepare for their next study sessions.

 In the student lounge, there are plenty of computers available to everyone who wishes to use them. These computers can be used to look up anything needed for class purposes or for homework. The computers can also be used for entertainment if you want to play some games to take your mind off of your busy day ahead. The student lounge offers wireless Internet which can be very important to a lot of students. In today’s technology, most hand held devices are ready for Internet. 

Those who didn’t catch the morning news can get a second chance with the plasma televisions hanging from the ceiling in the lounge. Some other stations are broadcasted like sports channels and educational channels.

  The students who would like a nice cup of coffee or tea can stop by the coffee shop located right in the middle of the student lounge. Students can choose from a vast menu of different mixtures and coffees, snacks and healthy sandwiches to choose from if they need of a quick bite. 
 

Is a student’s lounge therefore a suitable place for studying? Surely, the facilities at a student’s lounge are designed to provide students with an environment that support their studies.
