I’m a firm believer in many of the things mentioned.

When I study with someone there’s a real life component. We take breaks together, chat, ask each other questions.

Also, studying in common places can remove environmental distractions. For some reason during finals time I had the urge to clean the apartment.

I can relate to the physical in-person-ness of the experience. I cannot relate to the non-interactive, passive watching of it.
