Video: What's the Best College Study Spot?

What's the best place to study in college? That's really up to you. But Andy's here to show you the pros and cons of three popular study spots on campus.

Finding a place on campus you feel comfortable studying is extremely important to your success as a college student. But where’s the best place on campus to study? Andy checked out a few places on the University of Kentucky campus to help you figure out where you might study best. Check out the video below!

Campus coffee shop

Nothing pairs better with cramming for a test than a caramel mocha—but is a coffeehouse the best place to study? It’s a good place to go if you require caffeine and pastries to help you focus, but you may have a bit of trouble finding a spot during busy periods. And the espresso machine alone might knock you off your game if you’re distracted by loud noises.

Library

You might think the library is the obvious choice for where to study. But is it? Friends, noisy patrons, and lack of space in quiet areas might make studying more difficult in the library. Explore different areas to see what works for your before committing to one spot—and maybe leave your friends behind if you need to focus.

Your dorm room

Your dorm room might be a good place to study if you can remove all the inherent distractions. If you’re good about making sure you stick to the task at hand, your dorm room might be the perfect place to study. It’s private, quiet (or as quiet as you want it to be), and comfy. But if you can’t make your dorm room the perfect study space, you may want to consider a new location.

High School Class of 2021

CollegeXpress has seriously helped me out a lot, especially when it comes to scholarships and studying for tests like the ACT. I also really love the financial help. It’s a little harder to pay because I live with a family of eight, so any help is appreciated. Thanks for this opportunity!

High School Class of 2021

I'm a senior in high school, and CollegeXpress has helped me in so many ways this year in trying to navigate the process of deciding and committing to a university. The COVID-19 Student Resource Center has helped me many times with the most up-to-date and accurate information, along with financial aid and student life [advice]. During these uncertain times, CollegeXpress has been a great recourse to relieve the stress as a senior. Along with the COVID-19 Student Resource Center, I'm constantly using the extremely helpful tools off the site to aid me during this stressful process. Tools like the lists and rankings of universities have been the most beneficial. I've also used the site to receive expert advice on topics like financial aid. Finally, CollegeXpress has helped me easily apply for several scholarships. I'm thankful to be given the chance to win a scholarship to lessen the burden of my college debt.

CollegeXpress has helped me find so many scholarships that fit me. They match me to colleges I have specific interest in to make searching for colleges way easier and more efficient. CollegeXpress refers me to schools that have my major of interest and backup schools if I want to change my mind. CollegeXpress also gives out their own scholarships, so you have even more of a chance at gaining multiple scholarships. This website has helped me de-stress from the pressure of not being able to afford college, [of finding] what schools are right for me, and how to find easy access to scholarships that most people never knew existed.
