    Some might say that the computer is a distraction but I need it to look up things which I don't understand!

    I usually work at the kitchen table.
    It's quite messy- filled with maths textbooks and economics notes and stuff. It'll be getting cleaned as soon as the exams are over (although I could probably get rid of the economics stuff now, those exams are finished). Maths and economics textbooks are getting returned tomorrow, so that'll be some of the mess gone.

    It's my whole room really, I have a little fold away desk and then I have 3 sections of my room that were divided between chemistry psychology and sociology, right now it's pretty clean considering it's exam season.

    Old style tiny school desk next to my bedroom window. Philosophy requires maximum gazing-out-into-nothing-to-ponder space.

    It started out on the kitchen table, then I got fed up of carrying it everywhere, so I'm in my room and it's basically papers everywhere apart from my desk where they should be :/

    Don't move stuff to your room my computer distracts me too much!

    I use the dining room table, which is huge and still gets completely covered in my work.
    Its an organised mess though.
    I have piles for each biology, chemistry, maths and geography and then a pile for notebooks/stationary

    My study area starts of very very neat and tidy. When I get started on my revision, I dunno where I put what.
    I usually have physics, biology and chemistry together and they all get mixed up.
    It's a nightmare when the window is open in the summer and the wind is blowing.

    I work on a fairly big desk in my bedroom so I can spread out all my things but sometimes when I feel like I need a change of scenery I'll invade the dining room table

    I use the large dining table. It's big enough for 10 people to sit around, and I manage to spread my stuff literally all over it. My mum's given up telling me to organise my revision - I much prefer "organised chaos".
    Although the main reason I choose to study in there is because our living room and dining room are open-plan and there's a surround-sound system in the living room and I like listening to music when I revise.

    My bed. Quality revision goes on up here (it's the top one of a bunk bed), I have actually produced a Homer Simpson-style groove on the mattress where I place my bum as I study

    Err, I don't have one. I either study while sat on my bed (I don't own a desk) or in the armchair in my parent's lounge.

    I have a desk but it's not big enough, when I study I tend to 'spread'. Therefore I've hijacked the dinning room table, which to be honest sometimes still isn't big enough, so I have to be careful and make sure I keep things tidy and organised.

    This half is tidy the other half I spread my work over...
    That's so neat. And cute! ;o
