Conference room at work. Nice views of the city and always quiet… especially on weekends.
Since it is difficult for me to study at my apt I try to study on public libraries on weekend… but I find it hard to believe that public libraries here in NYC close early on weekday… only the one on 5th Ave and 40th street is open until 9p.m. some days… I got no access from other libraries (Columbia, NYU,…)
I used to study @ NYPL at 33rd and Madison, which closes at 6PM and 8PM on alternate days. http://www.nypl.org/hours/index.cfm?Trg=3&loc=188 There is no place like a silent home to take these CFA-punching.
At the office. At my desk (which is slightly depressing that i sit here for over 12 hours a day). Weekends at home on my couch (unproductive). And I’ll do my cram week at the SMU Law Library and Coffee shops around town. My coffee shop “hipsters” don’t talk about photography class, their conversations are about how their “views on this messed up world” and try to impress girls with their “deep knowledge of world religions and faith”… its painful to hear. Thus, I invested in a good white noise track and “hipster” canceling headphones haha
I love how businesspeople hate hipsters - they are the antithesis of finance. Take your foolish non-type A personalities, lack of materialism, and inefficiency somewhere else, hipsters!
Actually I take the materialism part back; hipsters are just as materialistic
UT library in the tower. The science library was the greatest place to study.

They’re a new level of stupidity due to valuing conforming non-conformity so much. Boring…yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnn… I think Soros, Simons, Shaw, Paulson with their suits and ties are much much much more non-conformist and iconoclastic.
I will be able to be more nonconformist as a billionaire (with a phd and CFA, lolz) than all hipsters in the world combined.
…and to add to that, most people in the military, especially special operations, are much more non-conformist than an hipster could ever be.
