It's the start of my one week mid sem break and I thought it was pretty relevant to talk about this, and I think the answer to the question goes both ways. Let me break it down, yo.
STUDYING IN UNI - PROS
(the opposite would be a CON for STUDYING AT HOME)
1. It's not as easy to go to my usual procrastination sites, e.g. pinterest/tumblr/feedly, since I'm not already logged in
2. Also not as easy to access food or Cruzer (our cute rascal of a dog)
3. Peer pressure (everyone is studying, so I should be too. It might also be due to the reason that I am afraid that people will judge me if I decide to take a 'small' pinterest break, or even just have something on my screen that is not work-related at all. In fact, I am currently typing this up in uni and I can feel the eyes of the prowling vultures (basically uni students like me looking for a computer spot) boring into my back as they pass me by. That said, I have seen people watching Korean reality TV during the middle of semester.
4. The computer screens are very large (we have Macs and Dell desktops), which makes it much easier to have 2 windows open at the same time
5. The computers are so much faster as well!
CONS
(the opposite would be a PRO for STUDYING AT HOME)
1. Not as easy to access food, and even when I do have a little bit of food, it becomes this ultimate test of opening my container of food closely, eating carefully from it, and closing the container so the smell doesn't distract others from their work (aren't I thoughtful?). But hey, if I just happen to have anything that is not deemed 'dry food', then I'll just have to suck in my hunger and push it to lunch-time (e.g. I have a wonderful meat pie today that needs to be microwaved = hunger pang for the next 2 hours or so).
2. I may not have all the materials I need to do optimum study
3. I get very bored/uninspired after a while just because the environment is so 'unstimulating' and bland, and it is then that I am forced to procrastinate. Hey, it's not my fault.
4. It gets very uncomfortable after a while (e.g. chair angle, aircon, awkward eye contact(!!))
5. There is absolutely no guarantee that you will be able to get a computer in a prime spot (i.e. quiet area, strategically located and angled away from prying eyes).
So there! This is in no way comprehensive, but I sure hope it was relatable/entertaining ;)
