How to Find a Study Buddy

Studying for college can be difficult. In many cases, having as study buddy can make the whole studying process easier and help you get better grades. Here's how to find a study buddy when you are in college.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Talk to people in your class. If you get to know some of your classmates, you may be able to suggest that you study together for an upcoming quiz or exam. You may end up studying with one other classmate or with several in a study group.
2. Post a flier on campus that says you are looking for a study buddy for a certain course. Be sure to put your class title, course code and your professor's name on the flier, as well as your name and contact information (phone or email address). Good places to post these fliers include near the library, dining areas and academic buildings on campus.
3. Use your friends as study buddies. Suggest to your friends that you study for courses together. You may be able to study with friends that you share classes with, or you may be able to study with a friend who has already taken the class you are taking. Be sure to reciprocate the favor and help your friend study too.
4. Ask the professor of your class about possible study buddies and study groups. Your professor may be able to propose to the class that study groups be formed or study buddies be assigned.
5. Use Craigslist or MySpace to help you find study buddies. (See the related eHow articles titled "How to Find a Study Partner on Craigslist" and "How to Find a Study Partner on MySpace.")
6. Use your school's intranet to find study buddies. Many college campuses have a local Internet (intranet) where students can post ads looking for many things, including study buddies. Students can also browse other listings that may be asking about study buddies.

Tips & Warnings

• Before posting any fliers on campus, make sure that you have permission to post notices in the place you are interested in.
