Thomas Cooper is a bit outdated. It's lined with tons of books that take up study space. The computers are old (they run windows 7) and the iMacs there are so old they still have spinning hard drives.
Awesome library. I've been to a lot of meeting rooms and those are very nice and sound proof. Haven't borrowed any books yet. Technology meeting rooms are the best if you want to discuss program codes or presentations.
Great research-friendly library, I'm no longer an official student but they're open to visitors from 7:30 AM - 9 PM most days. Best place I know in Columbia for getting some writing and reading done. Also has great purified water available from a few of the fountains. Thank you USC!
Beautiful library. The study rooms do sometimes get a little smelly and dirty because people suck, but other than that it's cool! Though if you're looking for some light fiction reading I would try another library
The library needs to clear out the books to put more study space in (which there isn't enough of) and needs to add more computers and update their existing ones. The iMacs haven't changed since before I was a freshman in 2010! 6 years for a computer is borderline ancient.
You have the space, you just need a bit of a facelift.
Great place for studying! Outside is a fantastic area to sit by the fountain and hang out!
