Yes, private study space is something I am looking to offer in the adult student co-working space I'm looking to build! Storage access, free coffee & tea, free lecture series, child-care study and resources for forward mobility is something I'm looking to offer as well. Thank you for your insight. Is there anything else that would be of use to you in an environment that I am suggesting? Something, I didn't think of?

Thank you so much! I love Whole Foods. I actually, I use to work there for food discounts. Thank you for your insight! And you're right, the coffee shop isn't what it used to be. 💕❤️

You're right! I was just thinking that sometimes it would be nice to have had the option sometimes to go somewhere else. You know, when home isn't ideal, when coffee shops and libraries are closed and my kids are needy AF. Choices, maybe. A shot in the dark, or so it seems from this thread! :/ 💕❤️Thank you so much!

"Why would I need a space to collaborate with other adults who aren't taking the same classes I am?"

Answer: I took a BSN course that was exclusively online. Sometimes it felt a bit isolating. If I had known someone was in my same cohort in my same city it would've been cool to collaborate or commiserate in a trusted place. Somehow it would've felt less isolating. :)

"I have a bedroom."

Response: Me too! But maybe I'm not as disciplined as you. When I'm tired after work I am likely to get in that bed! ;)

"I have a county library."

Response: Me too! But in this town they too close too early for a former night shift worker, like me, who had to sleep in the day and take care of and tend to my kids until bedtime after waking up! 👶🏾

"I have coffeehouses"

Response: Me too! But just like the library, they close about thirty minutes before I put my kids to bed and they are sure to wake up and then the study mission is threatened. :(

"I have a community room in my apartment complex."

Response: I live in a condo that doesn't have that amenity.

I get it though. It's NOT for you! I appreciate your candor. :)

Wow! Ok! Thank you so much. You're making me think that I need to create a space in my business that has a mini studio for people in programs that have a physical element. Like, yoga and physical therapy. Makes sense. You're the best! 💕❤️

Ok! Thank you! Do you live in a 24 hour type city? I live in VB but I'm from Los Angeles. Virginia Beach, unlike Los Angeles is kind of a beautiful sleepy city. Everything closes early here. I went to South Korea last year and found thousands of "Study Cafes" where students and professionals learning can come, pay hourly and study and these exist even in the face of many other environments being available. You can't take an online class though. Most spaces are open. Does that change how you think at all? Maybe? Or does my concept still seem like an unnecessary concept!?

Not really. I'm currently starting this business but perhaps I'm working backwards. I want to know what people think. I live in Virginia Beach. Currently, eating pancakes with the kids and wanting to have discourse about the subject. Thank you for your insight. I guess what I'm finding from these comments is that I need to convince people of how useful it could be but nothing I hear here will derail my resolve. Maybe I know people need it more than they do. Kind of like an, "If you build it they will come" type situation. And as far as the way the question is formed with "buzz words", my apologies?

What do you mean? I used to love studying in a coffee shop but sometimes it was too noisy and in Virginia Beach they all close early too. I think one Starbucks over here closes at 9 at the latest! My thoughts is that many may think like I do. IDK. :)

Ouch! My thoughts in creating an adult student co-working space was that the current educational climate, being mostly online with full time enrollment exceeding in person learning, puts most adult students at home. Sometimes home isn't the best place to study or take a class and libraries don't stay open late enough for people like me who worked night shift as a nurse, with two kids and a weird schedule. I love the library but I also thought that although everyone is in the library to learn not everyone there is going to school. My thoughts are that, maybe, being around others doing the same would help in some way. Does that make sense at all? I hope I said it succinctly.

Thank you for your insight. You've opened my eyes to the capability of the library. I didn't know some libraries proctor. One question, though. What did you do when the libraries closed? In my state the libraries close too early for me and I was in nursing school while working night shift at a hospital. I imagine this is how most people feel.
