🧘 Yoga mats, sound machines, and a light therapy lamp available too
🤫 A private Quiet Reflection Room (RT 331) for meditation, mindfulness, or virtual therapy
📚 Quiet study carrels on the 2nd floor for distraction-free focus
🔍 Curated research databases like PsycINFO and CINAHL Plus if you're studying stress, resilience, or mental health
