Labs aren't a great solution, either. Do you really want to have to leave the comfort of your own room to do homework?
When I was in school, the lab was a great place to do homework because you could bounce ideas off your peers.
Our labs might have been different thought; we had a Linux cluster where the CS students hung out. The fact that the computers ran Linux was enough to keep most non-CS majors away, so you could ask anyone in the cluster something about CS and be pretty sure they'd be able to help.

Ah. That'd be nice to have, but our CS labs (also running Linux) tend to be full of people who don't like to talk to each other, unless they're in a group together. Guess it depends on the people working there.
