As the semester begins, so do the late-night cram sessions and early morning classes. Whether you are spending long nights in the J.D. Williams Library or getting ready for your 8 a.m. class, staying energized is crucial. From coffee shops to loaded tea trucks, the University of Mississippi campus is full of places to find a pick-me-up.
1. Coulter Starbucks
Arguably the best coffee on campus can be found at the Coulter Starbucks. Whether you are headed to class or just stopping by, Coulter Hall’s Starbucks is a go-to because of its variety and quick service. This Starbucks accepts Flex dollars and is fully stocked with teas, coffees, refreshers and classic Starbucks snacks.
2. The Tea truck
If you find yourself walking in front of the student union, you may pass the loaded tea truck, known as The Tea, near the Croft Institute building. The loaded tea truck serves fruity drinks that contain anywhere from 100 to 250 milligrams of caffeine. The Tea accepts Flex dollars and is a super fast option if you do not want to wait in the Starbucks line.
3. J.D. Williams Library
The second-best coffee on campus can be found at the J.D. Williams Library. Although this tends to be a very popular destination for sleepless college students, this Starbucks is perfect if you know the right times to go. The Ole Miss Live Webcams, which can be found online, show how long the line is at any time, allowing you to gauge whether there is time to get a beverage before class. This location has the classic Starbucks drinks and foods and is perfect if you want to grab a refreshment before a library cram session.
4. Einstein Bros. Bagels
This hidden gem on campus can be found in Anderson Hall. With smoothies, bagels and breakfast sandwiches, Einstein Bros. Bagels is a perfect stop before a dreaded 8 a.m. class. Einstein Bros. is also known for its iced coffees and frappes.
5. Lamar Hall P.O.D. Market
From protein shakes to energy drinks, the Lamar Provisions on Demand Market has a lot of options. Located on the first floor of Lamar Hall, this market is the good place to grab a quick snack and drink on the way to class. The self-service checkout and fully stocked shelves make this a popular quick stop for a morning or midday pick-me-up.
6. Turner Center couches
When caffeine is not doing the trick, it is important to find creative ways to recharge. If you are in need of a midday nap, you can find solace at the Turner Center — specifically in The Well. Located on the second floor overlooking the pool are bean bags and couches perfect for lounging.
