Whenever I have an important test that I need to study for or a major paper that I need to write, I go to the Mercantile Library. Underneath the library's iconic pyramid is a nice study area with long tables and fairly comfortable chairs. This is the place where I get most of my work done. This study area does not need any additional lighting during the day because the pyramid allows the perfect amount of natural light into the room. At night, when natural lighting is no longer a viable option, this study area utilizes smaller and less powerful lamps to conserve energy. This serves to both create a calming study environment and cut back on the university's electricity use.
As a student at UMSL, the cost of a semester's MetroLink pass is given to me for free, provided that I am enrolled in at least nine credit hours that semester. With this pass, I can ride the MetroLink and any of the Bi-State buses in the Saint Louis area. This past semester at UMSL, I have saved a lot of money on gas by riding the Metrolink whenever possible. The Metrolink has convenient stops at the Delmar Loop, Forest Park, Union Station, and many other points of interest in the Saint Louis area. I enjoy having this form of public transportation close to my dormitory because I can save money on gas and cut back on my carbon footprint at the same time.
UMSL's Res Life has also added a battery recycling to Oak Hall. The bucket for batteries is located in the lobby of Oak Hall and has a sign indicating that it is for batteries only.
