Short answer
Good study spots in Fargo-Moorhead are the NDSU libraries and Memorial Union, the MSUM and Concordia libraries, Fargo Public Library branches, and downtown coffee shops during staffed hours. All are public tables with other people around, which makes them good places to meet a study partner too.
The facts, in one place
- Pick a public table with other people around.
- Libraries close, so check the hours.
- A study partner is a neighbor at a table, not a tutor.
- Meet in public, never a private apartment.
Using Help Me for a study table
Post study buddy, add the subject in a sentence if you want, and name the public place from this list. A neighbor can say yes, and a private chat opens between the two of you. It is a person at a table, not paid tutoring.
Meet in public
A library floor or a union is a complete answer to where. Apartments fail the test. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. You can report or block any member at any time.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
The list
- 1
The main campus study machine. Hours follow NDSU. After close, you are done or you move.
- 2
Louder than a silent floor and still public. A good label for a study table.
- 3
Moorhead campus study ground, on the Minnesota side. Public Safety is the number if the night feels off.
- 4
Concordia library and campus tables
A smaller campus, still staffed public space during hours. Knutson is a good backup label.
- 5
Downtown at 101 4th St. N. City hours apply, and it is not a 24-hour reading room.
- 6
The south Fargo branch. Same system, good if you live south and the downtown lot is a project.
- 7
North Broadway, near NDSU's world without being on campus.
- 8
Downtown coffee, during staffed hours
Broadway tables. Buy something, and do not turn a cafe into a free office after they want to close.
