Frequently Asked Questions for Current Students

How much time should I spend studying?
A general guideline is about two hours of study for every hour you spend in class. You'll spend more time for some classes and less for others. Good study habits and reading skills will be necessary if you plan to continue earning As and Bs.

Where can I study on campus if I don't want to study in my room?
All Purdue libraries have space for studying. A 24-hour study lounge is located in the Hicks Undergraduate Library. Students also study in lounge areas of the Union and Stewart Center as well as empty classrooms. Some departments also have study lounges.
