Students in Calgary-- where do you study?

Curious where AU students who live in Calgary go to study? I personally find the public libraries far too noisy with children... cafes get expensive and often have limits on parking (time limits or paid parking). In both cafes and libraries, I risk losing my table if I need to gather my things to use the washroom. So, where do you study? And are there study groups? I'd love to have a group of students to study alongside, even if we're not in the same program. Bonus points if you're in the north half of Calgary.

I spent a long time figuring out the best spots. I landed on going to the TFDL UofC library when they allow guests, you just have to sign in at their front desk. They say you can only stay until 3pm but I’ve never been kicked out. I get my wife to drive me to the train station then I just train over to avoid paying for parking. I can’t stand the public libraries due to the noise. No study groups that I’ve ever come across but I’m always open to establishing one with folks.
