Question Suggestions for praying

Hiya,

Recently, my friend has been praying/meditating on a regular basis in a quiet place and it makes her feel good.

The problem is that in a few weeks, she will no longer be able to do that because she will be sharing the dorm with her roommates and she will be surrounded by noise.

Waking up early (i.e, 3am) is not an option because she shares the same room with her roommate and she can pray better when she is alone in a quiet place.

Inside the building, there is no quiet place to pray.

On campus, there is a public prayer room, but as I mentioned before, she can focus better when she is alone in a prayer room.

So, I'm asking if there's anyone who has a solution to this dilemma?

Thanks a lot!

A tree, a bathroom stall, a church, a broom closet, a library cube, her car, a shower stall, a rooftop, a cemetary, a park, etc.

It's easy.

Tell her "Seek and ye shall find..."

Default How about outside?

If getting up early isn't a problem for her, she could just go outside of her dorm building and find a bench. Being outside when it's dark is always nice for me.

Even if there's a common room in her dorm building, it would probably be empty in the early morning.

My college has a nice fountain in front of the library, and people are always studying and taking naps in the grass around it. Sometimes guys bring their guitars and quietly play to themselves.

Hope that helps!
