Since I have time off between my classes, I found out that I actaully put in more time studying at school than at home. Sadly.

There are just too much distraction at home. The worse is the computer, and then headfi. Music, speakers, just too much comfort.

So I ended up going to school early and study or read in the library. Yes there are people around, but its less distraction than all the electronics.

The only place that I can truely study is in the tub....no kidding...the tub...with warm water running all the time. Sometimes I will have my notes stuck on the bathroom wall, that way I have a 135 degree view of all my notes...very easy to refer from one thing to another without having to constantly flipping the pages....and of course...the shower is running all the time

Ideally, I'd prefer to study in a jacuzzi though.

Pc is horrible, I'd have the tendency to think about the pc so long that i know it is close to me. Headphone and great music is worse...they sound so good that I feel like just drowning myself in the audio bliss and forget about everything.

I don't even bring my books home anymore. I have a small office in a corner of the basement of the physics department. If I have schoolwork to do I do it there, when I come home it's time for chillaxin'. Far too many distractions at home, and there is a chalkboard there.

Well for me it involves filling the area with that many distractions that I never end up studying, which is good at first but then the next day it's not such a good thing.

I do study at home. I need to take frequent breaks to let thiings sink in and let me piece things together rather than trying to jam endless theories on culture into my brain. At home, I have the perfect break setting, with many things to entertain me during my down time!

I pretty much have to sit at a table/desk alone without any distractions to study properly. I like to think I can study while chatting on IRC and checking head-fi, but it doesn't work too well

Sometimes putting the TV on with CNN playing in the background helps me concentrate.

Oddly enough, I cannot study with music playing, especially on headphones.

I'm one of those people who can study anywhere, I have no problem shutting out anything, but if I do, I just use earplugs. I usually have music running the whole time though.

6th floor of the library because no one knows how to get there. Reading lounge on floor because no one uses it. Deparment building because most graduates don't chit chat which distracts me and the undergrads are too lazy to walk across campus.

For studying I need music and a good nights sleep piror to the study session or I get distraced by my sleepyness and own mental fatigue.

Studying at home sucks. The ideal setting for me would be a completely empty white room with a table and a garbage can to sit on

I like home...on my couch...while there's a blizzard

I like to study at home cos i can do it in my PJs and there's always food. I stay snug in my blanket and periodically watch the snow.

I can actually study well with music, especially classical. The computer is another story...star trek always seems to pop on without warning! I don't know how...

 

[LuckyKarma]

At home (either my real home or dorm room), in either complete silence or listening to loud trance or chillout music on my headphones. Strangely, I can't concentrate while listening to any other music, including classical and all music with lyrics.

headfi is one of the most distracting sites on the planet. Along with wikipedia. I spend hours just reading articles and stuff. It is just too much fun.
