One of the biggest differences between traditional school vs. online high school is the capability to study at the location of your choice. In online school, you are not limited to a classroom; you can study wherever you feel most comfortable. That could be a coffee shop. It could even be a barn.

With so many choices on where to study, making a decision can be difficult. We know. That’s why we compiled five ideas to get you deciding where you’ll best learn.

You have your options, but if you’d like to see which might work best with your personality, take the quiz! But check out some great ideas below.

1. Your favorite spot on the couch

With your favorite cozy socks, of course.

Starting your morning stress free can be a huge benefit of online school. There’s no rushing to catch the bus or stress of receiving yet another tardy slip. You can log in and start coursework on your own time. Of course, if you start schoolwork later, you’ll finish work later, but you have that choice!

Sometimes mornings call for leisure. If you aren’t quite ready to start your school day, then we recommend heading to your favorite spot on the couch. Get your favorite cozy socks on, grab a morning snack, log in and get working.

2. On your work break

Knock out some homework during downtime.

If you work, you know all too well that spare time doesn’t come easily. That’s why we suggest monetizing your time. When you have a lunch break, try to knock out a small assignment. It will help you get that much further ahead in your classes when you head home for the day.

3. In the living room

It’s hard to get distracted when mom sees what you’re working on.

Sometimes the living room is a bad choice. It can be one of the noisiest places in your home. But the nice part about your family is that they can be a great support group too.

If you use your support system, the living room can be a great choice to study. After all, it’d be difficult to spend time on social media and YouTube if mom knows you’re supposed to be doing schoolwork. That way, you can stay on track and get your homework done for the day.

4. At a desk or table

Somewhere designated is best when the brain doesn’t feel motivated.

While studying at a cozy spot on the couch is always great, you should find a desktop or table for the times you really need to focus. Here’s why:

Your brain makes associations with each place you go. For example, when you go to your bed, your brain associates that with sleeping. When you go to the couch, your brain associates that with relaxing.

That means if you need to focus, you should go somewhere you usually work. A table and desktop are great places to help your brain know it’s time to work.

As Primavera instructor said:

“If you do homework in your bed where you sleep, it’s likely going to make you want to take a nap rather than do math homework,” said Ms. Day. “Go somewhere you know you won’t get distracted (or leave) until you finish homework. Make that your routine and doing homework there will become as natural as taking a nap in your bed is.”

5. Sure, even a barn

If you know of a barn…and you want to study there. Then sure!

You would still need an internet connection. But studying outdoors is a great way to get a change of atmosphere while you learn. Sometimes switching up your environment can make a huge impact on your motivation to study. It can be much better than sitting in a classroom seat, at least!

If that location is a barn then…yeah! Go study there. It’s an opportunity only available to online students, so why not?
