 Some of students like to study alone, but others prefer to study with a group of students. Each study style has its advantages and disadvantages, so every student will to find a method that suits their style. To study with a group of students allows students to learn valuable social skills and also allows them to hear many differing opinions. And if you study in a group, you are got to a lot more information and something you didn’t know. By students are to share their opinion, they can have a more understanding of a topic by studying as a group. For example, when your professor gives new topic to that you don’t know to you, your group members know, so they can explain to you. Or if you don’t have skill about to find information, your group member supply to you.     However when they study in a group of students, some of students doesn’t have a chance for to speak their opinion. And there is no more interaction between the students and students. If they have opinion, they can’t gather their opinion just as ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth.’ To study alone isn’t gathering a lot of opinions differ from studying in group. But it similar to group studying about to find information themselves except sharing. If you study alone, you can not waste time in idle talk with your group members. Sometimes when you’ll study in group, some of friends want to talk about something not relation with your topic. And it's possible that you will find an opportunity to discover how to study on your own. Because you can expect no help from others. From my experiences, I found that one can learn how to think by studying alone. And I tend to learn and concentrate better when I study alone without anyone's aid. There are reasons why do I prefer to study alone.
