Where and When to Study?

The obvious answer is "wherever and whenever you can". The more accurate answer is "where and when you can be most productive". Consider the following...

Seven criteria for a good place to study:
  • Available whenever you need it: not a lounge or classroom subject to frequent use by others
  • Free for interruptions and distractions. Probably not in your room, unless you have a single and can keep the door closed. Try instead any libraries; classrooms not in use; a study room - if the atmosphere allows you to concentrate
  • Has all the materials you need. Check before you leaving home to make sure you have the right notebooks, textbooks, handouts, paper, pencils, etc. An extra tip back and forth is study time lost
  • Has a large enough desk or table. If you can spread out everything you need, you won't waste time moving things around
  • Has a comfortable chair. Comfortable enough to let you sit for an hour without getting stiff or fidgety; not so comfortable that you'll nod off!
  • Has enough light. Straining to see the pages or screen burns through your energy more quickly
  • Has a comfortable temperature. Like your chair, warm enough (or cool enough, depending on the season) no to distract you; not so warm that you'll nod off, again
