Study Tips for Success
Create a workspace
Do you have a favorite spot to study? Whether it’s your dorm room, a coffee shop or the library, creating a similar space at home can help you stay focused.
Establish a routine
Whether it's grabbing a cup of coffee, having breakfast or hitting the gym, try to find ways to create a routine. This will help you mentally prepare to study.
Set boundaries
It can be hard to say “no” to family or friends, but you can let them know you're busy when you're in your workspace.

Take breaks
