I actually made the point to keep going for a semester after they said it wasn't required anymore, because if nothing else, it was a 'quiet area' where I knew I wouldn't get distracted like I would in my dorm room or if I tried studying out in the open.

I think establishing that -habit- was a huge part of helping me be more successful, I saw people who started with a 'full ride' but crashed out in a year or less because the freedom of college life versus HS is a big shift.
