In Spain, even technical students do learn in the library. While the small libraries in Garching don't even allow many people to learn there and are never really crowded, at the technical campus of the UC3M there is huge library with over 600 learning places and in January before the exams, it is completely occupied. EVERYBODY is learning in the library.</p> <div> <em>Author: Arno Scherhorn</em></div> </div> </div>  <div id="navBar"> <div id="sectionLinks"> <h3> University Life</h3> <ul> <li><a href="living.html">Living</a></li> <li><a href="courses.html">Courses</a></li> <li>Learning</li> <li><a href="exams.html">Exams</a></li> <li><a href="grades.html">Grades</a></li> <li><a href="sport.html">Sport</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="relatedLinks"> <h3> Related Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.uc3m.es/" target="_blank">Universidad Carlos III</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.upm.es/" target="_blank">Universidad Politécnica de Madrid</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.tum.de/" target="_blank">TU München</a></li> </ul> </div> </div>  <div id="siteInfo"> (C) 2008, Stefan Edbauer, Arno Scherhorn, <a href="http://www.juergentreml.de/">Jürgen Treml</a> </div> <br /> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
