by Agnes Chan and Zainab Khan, staff writers

With the Advanced Placement (AP) exams right around the corner, students who have signed themselves up to take these tests need great places to study for them. These few locations are some of the best places to settle down and focus on all the content you need for upcoming APs.

1. TeaArias Cafe

The TeaArias cafe is located in a plaza in front of Golden West College. This tranquil place is not too far from school and only 10 minutes away. Free wifi is offered here, and the cafe has happy hour everyday, which lasts from 5-7 p.m. Students are able to buy one product, and get another one for free. A highly recommended drink is the House Milk Tea. 

2. Cafe Orange

Cafe Orange is in Garden Grove and approximately 15 minutes away from school. With its un-congested space and peaceful atmosphere, it’s a great place to study with your friends. This Korean cafe also offers free wifi. Something you should try out at this place is the peach lychee iced tea and popcorn chicken.

3. Huntington Beach Public Library

The Huntington Beach Public Library has a relaxed ambiance and even has a downstairs cafe. It takes roughly 8 minutes to get here from school. You could either study next to the books, or study downstairs while listening to the fountain water. If you want to be productive and like having a serene spot to study in, then this place is the perfect study spot for you.

4. Public Libraries

Along with the Huntington Beach Public library, libraries at college campuses are great to study as well. The libraries at UCI and Chapman university would be a great place for students to spend a few hours studying.

5. Home

Another option is to have a study session at home. Do you have a lot of terms you need to memorize? Having study groups at home where a bunch of friends can come together to review vocabulary or help each other out is a great way to learn new information.
