Htxtter Muon COPING WITH THE INEVITABLE TRUTH What single activity took up most of a Furman student’s time and energy? Despite activities such as sports, parties, dances, and just socializing, or simply enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the Furman campus, students found that they must inevitably return to their books. And when they did. Furman students employed a variety of methods of studying. Some students found that listening in class and reviewing notes daily was an effective way of studying. Keeping up with reading assignments was also helpful; however, many students discover that this was not always possible, and found themselves up late or even all night before a test, practicing the familiar art of ■'cramming” before a test. Students also chose different places to study. The library, student center, empty classrooms, dorm rooms, and outside by the lake or under a tree were popular choices. One student remarked that she found the upper floors of the library to be a place where she could study most effectively because “there are fewer distractions.” Some students studied in the morning hours in the dining hall. One student recommends taking a lot of breaks when studying, while another insists that she takes breaks from other activities to study. Liz Aurilio. a sophomore and music major, found that she studied best in “the music building, in the practice rooms, in the girls' dorms, or in the parlors.” No matter where students chose to study, and whether they liked or dreaded doing so. studying remained one of the main components of a Furman student's life.
