Does studying from home work?

In this paper I will present the results of a survey research among 552 first year students in Economics of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. All these students were approached during tutorial sessions in week 21 of 2014. I find a statistically significant positive relation between the number of hours studying from home and students’ grades. No such relation is found for hours studying in the university’s library (UB). The results confirm sorting effects of students avoiding distractions at home
