STUDY360 is for students who need a break from their bedroom or dormitory. Scattered all over Antwerp you will find places where you can study with fellow students. Quite a few locations are also open during the Christmas holidays. But which spot do you choose? In this article you will discover the best location for you! Goodbye decision fatigue.

The homebody

You want to change your study location but don’t feel like travelling all over town? No worries! Several STUDY360 locations are located in the student district. Those who follow STAN know that our home base is GATE15, the Antwerp hub for and by students. You can study in GATE15 in the spaces of CABIN and Tarmac. Come for the good company, free coffee and Christmas vibes. Lights and Christmas trees? Check! The spot is perfect for students who like cosiness, the location is holiday season proof. The archive Letterenhuis is also close to the student area.

The culture enthusiast

You are the type of student who would rather be surrounded by paintings than textbooks. Did you know that several museums participate in STUDY360? Lucky you! You can study at the MAS, FOMU and Rubenshuis. Why not have a museum visit as a break? Or study at the Opera and Arenbergschouwburg and reward yourself on a performance after a long day of being productive.

The ultimate Christmas fanatic

Studying or going to the Christmas market? At these STUDY360 locations, you don’t have to choose. You can go to the Opera for a study sesh and finish outside at the Christmas market on the Opera Square. Hot Chocolate? Yes, please! If you study at the Letterenhuis, you can visit the Christmas market on the Hendrik Conscienceplein afterwards. Enjoy the lights, get a snack at one of the stalls or meet up with your study-crush under the mistletoe. You can also combine the Christmas market on the Grote Markt with a study session; the Politiezone has a pop-up there and opens its doors to students.

The procrastinator

Not only did you ignore your textbooks but you also still have to buy Christmas presents and look for a New Year’s Eve outfit? We’ve got you! You can study at the Steelforce offices, which are located in a side street of the Meir. In the city’s premier shopping street, you’re sure to find an outfit to shine with during the festive season. For those looking for a budget-friendly alternative, head to Think Twice right across Steelforce. Another place where you can combine studying and Christmas shopping is Ikea. You’ll find gifts for every budget. Are you looking for something for your artistic friends or family members? Then consider a gift from one of the museum shops. The museums open during the Christmas holidays are listed above.

The overstimulated student

Is studying in a side street of the Meir or next to a busy Christmas market pure horror for you? Don’t worry, you can also find STUDY360 locations outside the busy city centre. At the Zuid you will find the courthouse Vlinderpaleis and the coworking space of MCA LABS. In Berchem you can study in the Provinciehuis and in concept store SheDIDIT. Nokia‘s offices are at the back of the station. Want to get away from the hustle and bustle but still stay close to the student area? Then The Beacon‘s coworking space is for you. If you want to get away from the busy city completely and prefer to be on the other side of the river, the Mediahuis building is the place to go. On the left bank and just outside Zwijndrecht. During your break, take a walk in nature reserve Het Rot and completely unwind.
