Actually, it depends. I would say that I prefer to study alone. When I study alone, I can focus on my tasks and complete my study goals. On the other hand, when I study with friends or a group, I feel distracted from my study purpose. I can't concentrate as well. Learning alone is comfortable and a better way to learn new things. And, I prefer to study alone most of the time. Because it's comfortable for me, and I can focus better.
