Well i regularly go to the library, but i don't actually seem to study as much as i actually go the library!! I cant concentrate in a library, in the quiet zone it is so quiet i end up making noise so i cant study there. In the talking zone you can eat their as well as socialise, i have no problem with this zone but still i cant seem to get my head down and study!! I can only study at home, though there are loads of distractions like the television and people talking! Are you like me? Who cant study in the library or do you always go to the library to study?

Yes i visit my college library very often but not to study..I can't actually concentrate in my library but i go there almost everyday to find out books i need ..I need some or the other book everyday..Of course if its just a reference book that can't be issued ,i sit there and give it some time..

hey, shamezy, couldn't agree more ! very correct. things are the same for me. i can't concentrate on my reading for long let alone study in the library ! as you said, too quite is too quite. I guess the main reason for failing to study well in the library is that our reference, study tools are not at hands as we do at home. so every time i finish picking up my books, i hurry home immediately, but i do read on the way home on the bus because i just can't wait !

oh yes i do. I love to study there because the tables there are much bigger than those at fastfood joints. Moreover,the lighting there is brighter than those warm lights i have at home. And hey, free aircon.

Hi, shamzy18. I don't study much in library. I find myself cannot concentrate while studying in the library. I don't know what factors that make me that unproductive in the library even though i have no problem to study in the silent zone, i'm actually the person who only can study in the quiet environment. Well, that's ok though. Since i couldn't concentrate in the library, then i only can study and find myself productive at home. Normally i only go to library for borrowing reference books. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

i got o school library whenever i want a serious review or studying.. i can handle studying in a medium noise environment but not in a place like the canteen as the noise is polluting my mind... i like studying with a music on. but if the noise is just a noise and nothing at all, i dont think anything will enter in my mind except the noise..

Lol whenever i want a serious review or studying i some times do that but i end up doing nothing still lol !! Yeah i cant really study with loud noise or the television. Music is ok but it depends on what you are doing.. if it is just notes then ok but reading no.

When I was a student, i don't regularly go in the library.. Actually, we always though that only bright or genius students were always in the library.. I just go in the library if I was required to go there like I really need to find some books, have a group study, when our teacher wants to meet us there or have some research class, etc.. Most of the time, i just hang-out with my friends in Kiosk (a place where most students stay inside the campus) or in the field.. Honestly, I don't study my lesson everyday.. I only study my lesson if I have an exam.. Well, 2 hours before the exam to be exactly.. well, even though I wasn't always studying my lesson, I can prove to you that I have a high grades since I was a scholar for 4 years in college.. I usually study my lesson when I'm with my friends or with my boyfriend.. I don't care whether the place is noisy or not still I can study my lesson.. Actually, I don't really study my lesson, i just read it and try to understand...My boyfriend were always helping me in memorizing some terms if I had too since I am very poor in memorizing things.. Oh! Me and my friends were usually go in the library if we want to sleep or if the whether outside is very hot.. Since our library is air condition, most students stayed their just to feel cold.. LOL

ohh when I was still studying, I do go to the library to make a research and study. And at times, when we have an idle time we go there for about 30 minutes to one hour to study, then after that my classmates and I will be able to have our chitchat in canteen... :)

when i was in my early stages of schooling , i use to go to the library to read books, i love to read but as i got older , i realized that i cannot concentrate in a library anymore because of so many people inside, i get distracted .so, i found the right place for me to read and study. which is inside my room.

When I was in college, the library or the reading room was my favorite for study, rather than the designated classroom. The main difference was there you did not have interference from people around, while in classroom, it was hard to concentrate, inbetween our minds were distracted by various small talks.

yes,i find that my study efficiency is the highest when i am studing in library.it is quiet and especially the atmoshpere,i mean,so many students studying there,motives me to concentrate on books i read.

when I was in college, we were given many paper works or assignment. I had to be in the library everyday to read, research and meet up with my groupmates. I feel bored when I am inside the library but I can not do anything because I have to visit the Library so I can submit something to my professors. Or else I might be kicked out of the school. Good thing, i no longer have to go there because i have finished my studies.
