Dorm rooms, frats and sororities can be a bit crowded, loud and obnoxious. Lets face it, it's not a great place to study.
Your environment definitely effects your work. Obviously if you are trying to do your studies with with loud music or a party going on, its going to reflect in your work and concentration.
You'll want to find a nice relaxing environment where you can focus and concentrate well.
Here are some great places to study and do your homework besides home:
- The School Library - Free High Speed Internet, a load of resources, and a nice quiet environment.
 Library - A Local Coffee Shop - Also a great place to meet others. The Coffee shop provides a relaxing homey environment that can increase your work speed. A little caffeine helps with that too!
- Out at Lunch - A great way to multi-task. Feed your stomach and your brain at the same time. Just don't drip any sauce(s) on your work.
- In Class/Lecture - Doing homework in class is a great way catch up on homework. Just make sure you keep an ear open to the lecture going on, or else the teacher may call you out.
- Park or Courtyard - Get outside, get fresh air (weather permitting).
- Student Union Building / Student Center - Though it can get a bit loud and social at times, its a great place to collaborate with fellow classmates.
Also, between classes is a good time to do homework, if your work load at night is overwhelming.
With the amount of reading required in college, you better learn to speed read or read summarized notes, which isn't a big problem with all the latest web 2.0 note taking tools.
