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.

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

v 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.

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

Improve Your Study Habits

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

v Have a routine for where and when you study.

v Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

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

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

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

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