In part one, I reviewed the ‘big dogs’ of the Sidgwick site: The Squire, Seeley, and English Library, where most students seem to congregate. Now, let’s take a look at the lesser known gems of Sidgwick:

Divinity Faculty – 7/10

Even the name ‘Divinity’ is beautiful – and quite apt, as the library is at the very top of the Fac so you have to go up a spiral staircase which feels like an ascent to heaven. Would you look at that simile? I’m wasted in HSPS, I tell you.

The Divinity Library itself is quite small but very quaint. It’s circular, with a mezzanine on the outskirt of the circle. The bottom bit is full of computers and ‘couple’ desks which have a screen between so (thankfully) you aren’t awkwardly staring into the eyes of the person opposite (I’m looking at you, Law Fac). The upstairs is the best place to work – definitely the best views in Sidgwick on offer. However, to enter the library, you must leave your bag at the entrance, which is annoying, and I had to traipse up and down because I forgot everything. This library is one of the quietest I went to. A true place of God – who needs Church? Quietness is next to godliness.

Food: I glimpsed a vending machine on the bottom floor.

Best Feature: The design of the library is a dream and the view is wonderful.

Worst Feature: Having to leave your bag at the entrance.

Opening Hours: 9am-6pm (weekdays, must be in before 5pm)

Modern & Medieval Languages Faculty - 6/10

The MML Library was quite empty when I visited, but felt the most like a Cambridge library out of all of them – mazy and studious. Most of the desks were set against the window so there was lots of light and sunshine. It wasn’t spectacular but wasn’t awful – I was able to do a fair amount of work but I did feel quite isolated as it was just so empty.

There is now a hot drinks machine where you pay 60p for a drink at the entrance, which was pretty fab. Upstairs, there is also a graffiti board to write swear words in different languages which is what, I imagine, the MML degree legitimately involves.

Best Feature: The upper-class mansion library vibe.

Worst Feature: Quite empty (may have been a weekend thing though).

Opening Hours: 9am-7pm (weekdays), 9am-5pm (Saturdays)

Philosophy Faculty - 6/10

The Philosophy Fac is connected to MML through some corridors, which, if you are as inept at direction as I am, are super confusing. I was locked out of the Fac without my laptop or phone five minutes before closing time (when trying to fill my water bottle), which was only slightly terrifying, but hey – I’m sure I will recover someday.

“The Marshall might have been the most aesthetically-pleasing library, too, with the most beautiful spiral staircase at the very end”

I love the Casimir Lewy Library – but don’t get me wrong, it is tiny. Perhaps the smallest library in Sidgwick, but it is sweet. When I was working, there were just three other people and it was really pleasant. The desks had plants on them and there was a general cutesy vibe. Maybe the best bit was upstairs, separate from the library, where you can pay 50p for a drink or coffee from a Nespresso machine on a trust system. Very cute.

Best Feature: The plants on desks made it feel homely.

Worst Feature: Could feel quite claustrophobic to some.

Opening Hours: 9am-7pm (Monday-Thursday), 9am-6pm (Friday), 11am-5pm (Saturday)

Economics Faculty – 8/10

The Marshall Library is also an intimidating one. The foyer has some sofas with some great reading material for Economics students – you guessed it, The Economist. It might have been the most aesthetically-pleasing library, too, with the most beautiful spiral staircase at the very end of the room. But, like I said – very intimidating to a HSPS student such as myself. I actually had to bring my calculator with me.

However, the Marshall is a very nice, calm, and rather pretty place to work and I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn’t felt the need to whack out my calculator and bash out some numbers whenever someone walked past. Could they tell I didn’t do further maths at A-Level - or indeed, maths at all? Well, apart from my A* at GCSE (Goldman Sachs – hit me up).

Obviously, although supposedly reading some IR articles, I managed to get a sneaky look at everyone working. No luck. Where was my future investment banker husband? (“No, Sienna,” my mum sternly told me, “you are here for a good education, nothing else.” Whatever mum, I answer to Anna Nicole Smith not you).

Food: As far as I could see, a vending machine downstairs.

Best Feature: Just the right amount of modern and old.

Worst Feature: Although the tables could fit about six, the maximum I saw was three people on each because otherwise you would be squished together.

Opening Hours: 9am -9pm (weekdays, though you need an activated library card to access after 4.30pm and on weekends)

Snack Attack: Healthy Treats to Refresh your Revision

Of course, these aren’t the only libraries at Sidgwick. There is also Criminology, Music, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, and Classics, which I briefly visited. Well, I say ‘visited’ – I accidentally set up shop in the silent part of the library – aka the no-laptops-allowed part – which meant I had to flee in shame and cannot ever return.

All in all, the English Fac remains my highest ratest library with an impressive 9/10. Quite honestly, 8 of the points come from their One Direction blanket that is surprisingly very warm. So here I'll be. In the English Fac (second table from left). Wrapped in the blanket. With wavy brown hair. Oh, and my initials are S.H by the way. Honestly...the Crushbridge just writes itself doesn't it?
