In addition to the study requirements you mention the MIT Hayden Library is one of the best 'small' humanities libraries I have ever visited. I did a lot of homework there for a summer class in technical Japanese in 1990.
You can take study breaks by wandering around the stacks, which not large but amazingly well selected. Virtually every book you put your finger on is something worth reading. The Hayden Library opened up a whole world of biblical studies through the works of Robert Alter and Frank Kermode, which were sitting in the shelves a few feet away from my table. It's colored my impression of MIT ever since.
