The ideal college campus provides a supportive, inclusive atmosphere for all students, enabling them to challenge their beliefs, extend their understandings, and engage in meaningful learning and knowledge production - inside and outside of the classroom. However, even on a single campus, students do not share uniform perceptions regarding the support and inclusivity of their campus environment (Smith, 2015). Students who identify with historical marginalized groups regularly report a lower sense of belonging and a less inclusive climate than their privileged peers (Hurtado, Alvarez, Guillermo-Wann, Cuellar, & Arellano, 2012). Students' sense of belonging is integral to student success and it is increasingly understood to be tied to social identity, particularly for students who identify with a minoritized group (Strayhorn, 2019; Vaccaro & Newman, 2016). Sense of belonging is also closely related to a student's perception of various campus environments. Students' most immediate experience with campus environments is via the components of campus in which they regularly interact (Strange & Banning, 2015) and an important component of the residential campus environment is the informal learning space - the places outside of the classroom in which students choose to do their studying and academic work (Painter et al., 2013). Using a critical constructivist lens and an ecological development framework, in this basic qualitative research, I explore the relationship between a diverse group of undergraduates' experiences in informal learning spaces (or study spaces) and their sense of belonging. The findings indicate that students' navigation of study spaces can be related to their minoritized identities and describe how the participants navigate campus study spaces when experiencing uncertainty around belonging. Factors such as peer anxiety, peer motivation, study space exploration, gendered spaces, group avoidance, and disciplinary identity all played a role in participants' experiences in study spaces. Recommendations for further research and to higher education practitioners such as librarians, space planners, and student affairs staff are offered.
