How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

·        The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space – usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·        For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion

·        When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying

·        Have a routine for where and when you study.

·        Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study sessions

·        Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day

·        Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it

·        Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions

·        Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it
