If students are looking for a change of scenery other than a dorm room or the library, Bowling Green has a variety of coffee shops to offer.

With finals upon us, local coffee shop Grounds for Thought, located downtown on Main Street, is one of many places students can go to get some studying done.

Since 1989, it has provided an atmosphere for students and townies. Grounds For Thought is both a coffee shop and book store.

Grounds for Thought is the place to study for students who may need a caffeine fix. There are caffeinated beverages to accompany any all-nighter.

Sarah Smith, one of the store managers, said she believes that Grounds For Thought is perfect for every type of student.

“We cater to everybody, because people have different ways of studying. There are sections with no music playing and large tables available for people to work in groups,” Smith said.

Grounds For Thought isn’t the only place to go for students looking for a quiet hideaway to study or a good cup of coffee. Starbucks and Panera also provide a study spot for students.
