2012 Best Place to Study OutsideArizona State University Polytechnic Campus Mesa, AZ
Grab a book and get outside to combat the dorm-room doldrums. The desert arboretum is the perfect place to get some sunshine and commune with nature while you fill your head up with knowledge. The arboretum is part of ASU’s sustainability project and is chockablock with desert-dwelling, drought-resistant plants that conserve water. Its original location in the desert walk has been extended so that its tendrils extend throughout the campus. Fear not, techies: Thanks to recent construction, an outlet for your laptop is never far away, so you can get the best of both the inside and outside worlds.
