Everyone has different needs and preferences when it comes to studying. Lately, the idea of ‘body doubling’, or working quietly with a small group of people around, has taken off – and for good reason. Studying alongside likeminded people offers the accountability and community that solo sessions can’t.
The Library, ELS and RUSU are excited to offer tailored study sessions in a sensory-friendly Library space. While the sessions are specifically designed to support neurodivergent students, everyone is welcome to join us and collaborate with fellow students who share similar goals.
You can drop in at these sessions at any time, and registration is not essential. If you register, you will receive calendar invitations and reminders for each session you select.
Whether you're writing, reading, researching or organising your studies, our sessions offer the perfect setting to meet your needs. Join us and study with like-minded peers!
Dates and time: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 1pm–4pm from 3 March to 11 June (excluding the mid-semester break and public holidays).
Location: Swanston Library, Building 12, Level 5, Room 105.

At certain times during the semester, we cannot guarantee a completely noise-free space at the Swanston Street campus; for example, during Orientation Week and start-of-semester student activities on Bowen Street with live music. If you register for the sessions, we will notify you in advance of any noisy external events so that you can plan accordingly. We recommend bringing personal noise-cancelling headphones, if possible, to help minimise noise that is outside the Library’s control.
Dates and time: Wednesdays, 2pm–4pm from 4 March to 10 June (excluding the mid-semester break and public holidays).
