free wifi study places in Richmond?
 

Hey guys, what are some good study places in Richmond other than Blenz, Starbucks and Richmond Public Library?

Waves in Steveston or on 3 road is good. Nice atmosphere, free wifi and comfortable seats!

Starbucks has free wifi, and so does McDonalds!

just study at home? turn off your computer, clean the desk and hit the damn books. i never understood why so many people feel the need to go to a coffee shop and sit in cramped areas amongst other people sipping cappuccinos while writing their papers. god damn hipsters.

^sometimes people just need to get out of the house because it might feel too comfortable or like they're not getting anywhere. A change of in atmosphere can sometimes help them get busy.

Also, +1 to waves in Steveston.

not sure if they have wifi or not but tim hortons seem to be popular as well

Maybe because not everyone's home is suitable for study?

Aberdeen food court, the window area.

they don't let you charge their computers there... they are really fucking anal about it.

brb lets put on tons of make up / do hair and dress nice before i go to coffee shop to study while eye flirting and gossiping

McDonalds has wifi now lol

if youre studying til late, the mcdonalds on no 3 and granville is good, open 24/7 with free wifi

having a bed nearby doesnt help :(
plus sitting in a small stuffy room with my brain functioning for hours straight gives headache...

doesn't seeing other people studying in the coffee shop too give you more motivation? :)

Richmond Public Library has never let me down :)

Honestly, I prefer places like Tim Horton's on 3 road that don't have wifi. I download all my lecture slides first then hit Timmy's. No wifi = no distractions. The internet is the biggest distraction to you studying (from my personal experience).

Yeah good point, internet is probably the biggest distraction.

I have fun stuff at home. Lots of it. I can never work when I know I can move two feet and have fun stuff to play with.

I used to live at Blenz for this particular reason. I get distracted easy...like that dog in Up.

Waves in Richmond is the best one BTW. Why?

Lots of seats.
Outdoor patio area.
Lots of power outlets.
Free, fast Wi-Fi. Lots of places have shit Wi-Fi. Waves was always reliable for me.

I like Blenz but too many people there all the time and few power outlets.

I do the same as well. What sucks is that they have a very limited amount of power outlets for my laptop.

Well Tea? A bit loud though...and the LGs are distracting.

-too many old people hogging individual booths
-too many asian families doing their math and ESL homework in the group study all afternoon to night
-too many high school runts making so much noise
-no paper towel in the washroom GOD DAMNIT

i never liked richmond public library too...not sure if they have upgraded their internet or not...but for some reason their internet speed was like slower than 56k when i was there couple years ago...
