Biomedical Library 7am - 2am ?!

[vexx]

Hi,

I was wanting to go to a library tomorrow and study since i can't at home, but they all close at 5pm which is really annoying ><
But then i saw that according to the opening hours http://www.lib.unimelb.edu.au/collections/opentime.html

Brownless Biomedical Library
"Study Hall (University of Melbourne students/staff only)   Mon - Sun 7 am - 2 am
other than Full Service opening time"

Is this for real? Is there actually an everyday study hall?

Since it says only for students, what would happen if i turned up and sat down quietly and started studying, would they ID me or something haha?

If you do UMEP chem, I think that makes you a UoM student, so yes?

Hahaha, soo worth it. i did zero today!
I won't be going for that long, probably get there around mid-day and stay till later evening - if i go to a library that closes at 5pm, i'll go home and then not study >< needa catch up!

It won't be "open" at that time, the door will be locked and you'll need an authed student card to get in. No idea if you get the as umep students. There's a swipe box by the door for before/after hours entry and exit.

I'd turn up to swipe you in, but no way am I getting up at 6am on Sunday lol

If you have a card, then you scan it at the door to go in. Any unimelb card should let you in

Ahhh i see, thank you both!
haha russ, i wouldn't get up that early anyway so don't worry ^^;

will the scan of the card only be needed after 5pm? or is it always needed...

HOLY SHIT!

this is epic.  I may well just join you.  I hate studying at my school.  i always see people and get distracted, wifi is terrible.   they kick you out at around 8pm, and then there was a stupid fire drill once, right when I was studying.

imagine going there for 12 hours a day.  You would get so much stuff done.

Type "brownless brothel" into facebook search if you want to see photos lol.

The ground floor will be deserted in holidays, usually it's pretty noisy. 3rd floor is silent study

Anyway, I have to drop books off tomorrow, might keep an eye out for vce kids lol
