Throughout an entire day, I walk through the dorms twice. Once to leave for class and the other to get back to room from class. In between that period, I do all my studying usually outside the dormitories in order to avoid the constant noise and distractions that are characteristic of the res halls.
It's hard for me to imagine how someone can be studying for an intense chemistry exam while in the lounge where people are always walking through. This would absolutely kill any possible concentration in my opinion, and the material internalized would effectively be comparable to diving into the swimming pool of an Olympic race with your mind focusing on where you'd want to go shopping during the weekend. You simply can't win this way since the only path to victory is by marshaling every resource available and concentrating that on a singular goal. Only then is the required intensity and concentration acquired to produce meaningful work and progress.
Unfortunately, the dorms are one of the poorest places to study in that mindset, and one of the thirteen libraries on campus are more than better suited for academic purposes.
