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 session.

·    Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at materials 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.
