<p>I've run into a lot of disappointments when it comes to asking people if they want to study with me. So I don't know what's best for me to do.</p>
<p>So what kinds of people do you approach when you want to study with them? Would asian girls who seem alone work most? Girls are probably less likely to shrug people off than boys are (boys do it so often). And I'm also asian (although I don't act asian), so maybe they'd prefer me to others?</p>
<p>Sometimes it’s hard because some people don’t like to study so they don’t like it when people talk about studying or school. Maybe you should ask them if they want to play basketball instead. Then they’ll think you’re a personable.</p>
<p>Study with the friends you make in your classes. If you can’t make friends, then study alone.</p>
<p>I don’t think a certain demographic is more likely to study with you. Just try to be friendly and show (without saying so) that you would be a good study group member. (Criteria would be focused, hard-working, and inquisitive, but NOT annoying, free-loader, and competitive.)</p>
<p>Try to start off just by being friendly and making friends to study with in the first place, rather than focusing on forming a study group.</p>
<p>I was having the same problem. I’m in a lot of large classes, so I was sitting next to different faces every week, and found it hard to meet people who were interested in a study group. I actually went to *******.com and checked the profile for my class. I posted on the discussion board and just asked if anyone else wanted to get together to study for our test, and surprisingly heard back from a few other students! You should try it!!</p>
<p>I lot of the friends I have made have been with study groups I’ve formed. I usually just ask an acquaintance I’ve made in class. Maybe someone I talk to regularly in class but haven’t hung out with before, if there’s a test coming up I might ask if she wants to study together or something. I’ve done that before and that opened the door to actually hanging out outside of class, so that worked well. I don’t know if there really is a demographic issue.</p>
<p>It has seemed to me that the students who like to/can efficiently study in a group may be in the minority.</p>
