According to most of the people it is better to learn something in the circle of the people rather than alone. Which I would disagree with because individually people are more creative and can focus more on their studies or research.
A saying that, I don’t mean that learning in the group doesn’t have any advantages it have like people can be more competitive by looking/observing others. They also can learn new skills and know more about it. I have seen some of my friends learning quicker in groups than individual learning.
On other hand, people who learn/study individually hates crowd while in their learning time. As many researches and history has shown all most all scientist had complete their research alone or only with one person to support them in daily work. When they learn something alone they can focus more as well as can get more creative.
To sum it up, I would also prefer to study alone rather than in the group in most of the time due to the time, I could give myself in the learning. I also could focus more in my learning.
