Study Environment

Where you study will influence your ability to retain information. Sometimes your room isn't the best place for studying. For some, the library is just "too quiet" or creates more distractions for socializing.

• Eliminate or minimize noise.
• Stay away from the phone! If it's really important they'll call back.
• Make sure you have adequate lighting.
• Have what you need to study at hand, so you don't have to get up so much to get things.
• Take a few minutes to straighten your study space before you start.
• Don't get too comfortable while you're studying. A bed is not the best place - try a straight-backed chair and desk.

In addition to the above tips, there are probably other places around you - on campus or off - that could easily become positive study environments. Try your church (or campus ministry).
