Best Spots for Focus & Relaxation at Dar Al-Hekma University
It happens more often than you think: wandering aimlessly around campus, searching for that perfect spot to catch up on some exam preparations or simply unwind between classes…
But at Dar Al-Hekma, with its stunning facilities, you won’t be left wandering for long. There are spots available for everyone to enjoy, be it for studying, collaborating and brainstorming, or hanging out with friends.
Some are well-known, others are hidden gems just waiting to be explored, but one thing’s for sure: they’re all spaces that allow you to nurture and unleash your imagination.
In this blog, we’re going to introduce the top spots around campus for students to check out when they have some free time or feel like stepping away from the noise.
Some students like a quiet corner with their textbooks and a coffee. Others prefer a more energetic setting where they can chat and go over material with friends. The campus has options for both.
Places to Breathe Between Lectures
No one can get through a full day of lectures and library marathons without some sort of breather, and that’s why Dar Al-Hekma’s campus feels like it’s curated to give students a time to make the most out of their breaks.
Common Room
The student common room is a place where you don’t have to worry about deadlines (even if only temporarily). Inside, you can find:
- A foosball table that’s almost always occupied.
- PlayStation controllers, passed around.
- Billiard games where the stakes are incredibly high.
DAH treasures a sense of community above all else, and the common room is where their vision comes to life, with students mingling and enjoying their well-deserved breaks.
Campus Gardens
Sometimes, the indoors can get too stuffy, so you feel like heading to a place with fresh air and greenery. Luckily, DAH’s twin campus gardens are the perfect escape for outdoor lovers.
As you sit in the trees’ shade and soak in the calm, you’ll give your mind a much-needed refresher. Some students spread out on the campus grass with their laptops; others claim the benches with their coffees and engage in heated discussions.
No matter how you choose to spend your time there, it’s a place where you enjoy the gentle hum of campus life.
Modern Cafés
The cafés are the real campus favorites at Dar Al-Hekma. In a similar vein to the gardens and common room, they offer an opportunity for students to recharge and enjoy their breaks.
When the mid-afternoon boredom kicks in, you often find yourself craving a coffee, or maybe even a latte with a croissant, so you immediately head over to Zed’s Kiosk or Barn’s café to satisfy those cravings.
Spots for Extra Study & Concentration
While some prefer to unwind in cafes or gardens, others love to do some extra work or study hard before an exam. For students pursuing advanced degrees like the Commercial Law (LLM), these spaces can make all the difference when doing research or coursework.
Computer Labs
Even in the golden age of technology, most university computer labs feel like they offer outdated tech. However, at Dar Al-Hekma, the computer labs look and feel like the real environments you’ll encounter professionally post-graduation.
Students from all majors head to the computer labs for complex tasks. You can find them performing data analysis or simply typing out their next assignments. In all cases, it’s a welcoming environment that rewards hard work.
The Library
Dar Al-Hekma’s library is a place where assignments turn into a real love for research and curiosity. 40 computer stations also stand ready, and they’re all equipped with the latest tech so everyone can access the latest tools in equal measure.
Librarians are professionals in their fields who know their databases inside out. They’re there to help you find exactly what you need, fast. This can help you hand in a great, well-thought-out assignment that impresses your professors and peers.
Now that you know the best spots across campus, it’s time to find the one that speaks to you the most. Dar Al-Hekma has many spaces that fit, and if you find your people there, even better!
