Okay, I got to say studying in the library is the best. I went to the library last night and studied for 2 hrs. I was able to cover so much within that little time. The coverage that I got last night normally would have taken me about 4 hrs at home. I think I will stick with the library. Studying at home is so unproductive for me.

I agree that studying at home is just waste of time. There is always something else that needs to be done. My office is just 2 miles away from my home. I stay in my office on week day nights and use one of the conference rooms on Saturdays. I used to go to the library but I figured that I save gas and time by just staying at the office.

I find it best for me to stay after work in a conference room in my office to study. I have access to all the resources that I need here, the conference rooms are large and quiet, and I am still in that professional do-work mode after I'm off of work so if I stay here, my study time is very effective. If I come home after work and change out of my work clothes, I feel like the productive time of the day is over and it's time for some leasure. I find it pretty difficult to study at my place. Plus, I live in downtown LA so it is LOUD! You gotta do what you gotta do though, and if I need to study, I'll pull out my books wherever I'm at. Office is my preference though.
