<p>does anyone else find it dang near impossible to study at home?</p>
<p>is it just me and my crappy homelife, or do other people have issues with all the distraction/noise?</p>
<p>i feel like the only place i can study is in public (library, barnes and nobles, etc)</p>
<p>this isn't a very good habit..does anyone else agree?</p>
<p>During my first year, I NEVER studied at home (except in the mornings of the Finals Day).
Calc was the only subject that I studied the most (3-4 hours EVERY DAY), and all of those hours were spent at the library. I usually have my mp3 player with me so I can study while enjoying my private time with my music.</p>
<p>But starting this semester, I will spend most of my time outside my campus (due to my work and intern), so bookstores like barnes & noble and Borders may be my next favorite places to study.</p>
<p>but yeah, home was never a good place to study.</p>
<p>well i sometimes hate studying at home cause my mom and my sis always talk or watch tv and it distracts me. I like to be alone when I study and Its hard for me to have this kind of privacy at home. Often times, I tell my sis and mom to **** so I can study.</p>
<p>Personally, I like to read at the library and do the writing work at home.</p>
<p>I always like the comfort of studying at home. I can't study much in my room due to the computer being in there, but I usually study at my dining table, it's the best place for me with no distractions whatsover.
When I study in my school's library I tend to fall asleep. :x</p>
<p>I just hate it when theres distraction. I cant study when someone is in my room. I sometimes can study in front of computer, but i usually try to avoid doing that. ITS A DISTRACTION!</p>
<p>Im assuming the above posters are not comparing studying at home to studying in a dorm room. Surely studying at home is more beneficial.</p>
<p>Most of the posters above go to CCC's, hence there're no dorms.</p>
<p>I think its a given that if you live in a dorm room, the distraction level goes up dramatically (assuming your roomate is a class-5 a-hole, loud, obnoxious, likes to party 24-7 and takes sake bombs every 15 minutes).</p>
<p>But when you're at a university, libraries close very late at night, giving students the opportunity to spend much more hours there than they would if they were at a CCC (mines closes at 8). Also, the fact that you live on campus eliminates the commute factor, which for me is one of the main reasons that studying at the library is often troublesome.</p>
<p>distraction at home/dorm:</p>
<p>Computer (Games, Forums, Chat, P0rn, etc)
Friends (Hanging out, Party, Girls, etc)
Family (Mom, Siblings, Baby sister, etc)
TV (self-explanatory)</p>
<p>Baby sitter... If you need baby sitting at the age of 19 or older...</p>
<p>I do, a sexy and cute female babysitter that is =D
but im sure it will be a distraction as well
so dhl3 is right about that</p>
<p>I always study effectively at home at my desk and in front of the computer. Everytime a question pops up, I would go to Google or Wikipedia and search out the answer. If I’m really interested in a subject, like Math, I can study it for hours without getting distracted at all, no matter if my mom is vacuuming the house or my brother is playing video games. But I tend to fall asleep easily when reading a Literature textbook.</p>
<p>lol...i LOVE studying at home </p>
<p>studying while chatting/gaming/browsing/movies that is</p>
<p>and i don't think i'm doing bad in school at all</p>
<p>ya math is the only subject i can study with some distractions..</p>
<p>anything that involves reading is impossible for me with distractions.</p>
<p>studying at home has never been for me. waaaaaaay too many distractions (family, piano, television, computer)
Even if i take my laptop with me to borders or sbucks, the people around me studying/the environment pushes me to study. It's a nice, encouraging thing to see everyone else doing the same thing. it helps!</p>
<p>yea thas why i love going to library/borders its awesome place to study</p>
<p>barnes and nobles suck because they play that annoying music in the background...and its harder to concentrate. but if you can block that out then BN is cool..</p>
<p>i dont see why everyone fines starbucks so dang appealing to bust out with a laptop and sit there for hours doing work....its a coffeeshop..buy ur coffee and get the hell out of there..stop getting comfortable and acting like its your right to sit there for hours and take up space.</p>
