Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons — Attraction in Atlanta

"The Swiss Army knife of campus buildings 🔋📚☕"

The Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons—aka CULC—isn’t just a building. It’s the campus hotspot where studying, socializing, and caffeine addiction unite in perfect harmony.

Perfect study vibes – From group pods to quiet corners, there’s a spot for every flavor of academic panic.
