Other spaces may be available for holding meetings or for studying. Ask the secretaries in the department office about signing up for rooms for these purposes. Room 316 and John Dewey Lounge are often used for committee meetings or colloquiums but may be opened up for presentations or study groups. Also located in the graduate student lounge are copies of former students' thesis. These can help you get ideas for your own thesis.
Graduate students can find computer facilities at several places.
Waterman building has a computer laboratory with IBMs, MACs, and laser printers. Technological help is available there from student assistants. Bailey Howe Library also has a computer laboratory. Additionally, the graduate student lounge has a computer that can be used for word processing and email. Any complaints or issues may also be addressed more effectively if you file them in the form of a letter.
