Waves in Steveston or on 3 road is good. Nice atmosphere, free wifi and comfortable seats!

just study at home? turn off your computer, clean the desk and hit the damn books. i never understood why so many people feel the need to go to a coffee shop and sit in cramped areas amongst other people sipping cappuccinos while writing their papers. god damn hipsters.

^sometimes people just need to get out of the house because it might feel too comfortable or like they're not getting anywhere. A change of in atmosphere can sometimes help them get busy.
Also, +1 to waves in Steveston.

Maybe because not everyone's home is suitable for study?

having a bed nearby doesnt help
plus sitting in a small stuffy room with my brain functioning for hours straight gives headache...
doesn't seeing other people studying in the coffee shop too give you more motivation?

Honestly, I prefer places like Tim Horton's on 3 road that don't have wifi. I download all my lecture slides first then hit Timmy's. No wifi = no distractions. The internet is the biggest distraction to you studying (from my personal experience).

I have fun stuff at home. Lots of it. I can never work when I know I can move two feet and have fun stuff to play with.
I used to live at Blenz for this particular reason. I get distracted easy...like that dog in Up.

Waves in Richmond is the best one BTW. Why?
Lots of seats.
Outdoor patio area.
Lots of power outlets.
Free, fast Wi-Fi. Lots of places have shit Wi-Fi. Waves was always reliable for me.
I like Blenz but too many people there all the time and few power outlets.

I do the same as well. What sucks is that they have a very limited amount of power outlets for my laptop.
