Purchase College Has Study Breaks Covered In A Few Creative Ways

PURCHASE, NY — A musical interlude, a panda cam or quick cyber-visit to the British Museum - the Purchase College Library has students in need of a study break covered.

Research shows that taking scheduled breaks can actually make time spent studying for a test more efficient. As students at the SUNY Purchase campus prepare for finals, the school's library has pulled together dozens of inventive ways to get away from it all without getting too far away from hitting the books.

Students in need of a distraction can spend a few moments peering at the panda cam with a live feed from the Atlanta Zoo or work an online jigsaw puzzle. Those looking to make the most of their time away from the desk can take a free, virtual ballet lesson or take in a recorded concert at the Metropolitan Opera House.

There are a number of other live events and online distractions made available by the school.

• Online Coloring
• Coloring Mandalas
• MoWillems Democracy Doodle
• Metropolitan Opera House concerts
• Lincoln Center At Home concerts
• Jazz at Lincoln Center Square Space concerts
• Farm Animal Sanctuary Virtual Visit
• A tour of the Historic Cemetery of La Paz
• Free Yoga

All of the events, games and online distractions are free to students and can be accessed through the Purchase College library page here.
