As the school year is starting to wrap up, there is still so much to do. There are still a multitude of final projects, test, quizzes and the daily grind of normal class work. There is also the battle to find time for relationships and sleep. As a result, it can be really hard to keep in the mindset of “good studying.”
Studying can be difficult, especially if one does not have a little fun in the process. There are a lot of places in the area for us to do homework; especially off campus. It just is a matter of finding a location that is the most suitable for studying.
My personal favorite is at church, in the green room or in the lobby lounge. It is a great environment for me to be able to focus. It is usually a quiet place where I can lay out all of my papers, helping me be effective in my studying.
A place I recommend for those who are in the medical field is the hospital. Integris Baptist Medical Center has a good cafeteria and a lot of seating and tables. There is also a nice part of the cafeteria that has a large sunroof where there is plenty of room to do homework and still have the ability to be in the sunlight.
Kevin Veal, a sophomore music business major, likes to study at Whataburger. They are open 24 hours, and it is somewhere quite different than the normal desired study spot for a college student.
“I like Whataburger because it is a good place to go hang out with people and do homework,” said Veal. “They also have good cheap food for a poor college student who is on a budget.”
Veal also says that the restaurant makes him feel like the long nights are not as late as they truly are.
Joseph Blissett, a senior ministry major who lives in married housing, loves to do his homework at home. He said, “[Home] is a nice, quiet place to study.”
While home does offer the comfort of other study spots without going anywhere, he also discussed where to go to study for a group project.
“I recommend the library, since it can be really hard to get everyone together,” he said.
