Pounding the Books study habits important to college We Selina Sanchez takes advantage of one of the many study trees that dot the campus to do a bit of relaxed studying while taking in the fresh air. Photo by Kirsten Stanton. One thing all students have in common, whether they be atheletes or thespians or religion majors or chemistry students, they all have to study. Oh sure, some students manage to coast through a course or two, but sooner or later they find themselves in that killer class that requires some hard-fought studying. There are as many different ways to study as there are students trying to study. Learning to study effectively is one of the key goals of the college experience. There are students who will cloister themselves off into the bowells of their dorm rooms, hidden from the interference of the outside world. Others will sit smack in the center of the Student Center, somehow managing to get some key facts from osmosis as the world buzzes around them. A few stalwarts make use of the library facilities, a virtual treasure trove of information. Around campus there are a few choice locations for the hardcore studious, such as some of the tall thick trees across the commons Cnot for Winter usel. f lkf ali' ' if nm V. n , . , V at , ,, e i.t'Y.f.'f' 4' nb 'Jef' 4,3 fifl Qk WHQ Agana, 4, 11,256 5 ,

Many students find it easier to study with friends. There are those who meet with people in the same class and quiz each other until the material is glued in the head. Others just meet with friends and study different classes, just wanting company while they go through the task together. The level of study skills each student has varies. Some come out of high school with low skills, having coasted through on talent. These get a shock when they discover the caliber of study necessary just to get by at the college level. Others come with higher skills and do better at the onset. Many students find it difficult to balance their time between classes, jobs, and activities. But, somehow, they manage to do it. One thing is certain: no matter the level of academic talent, study skills are of great importance to surviving the college experience. These skills need to be developed soon in the college carreer and, when used correctly, help get a student through with as little pain as possible. -il... by Brian David Phillips Michelle Valcoure and Alex Lankhorst help each other go over some important chapter notes and lecture outlines.
