An Icelandic questionnaire asked students about their preferences for studying. The majority of respondents were male and preferred studying at home or in a smaller classroom. Most students in distance learning programs said they liked it. Comfortable chairs were the most popular seating preference over options like yoga balls. Individual reading was the most common study method preferred over group work or lectures. Phones were the top distraction in classrooms.
