TL;DR Not every revision session needs four walls – fresh air can boost alertness and mood. The places below pair greenery with seats and some level of connectivity.

1 Why study outside?

  • Lower stress – green spaces reduce cortisol and screen fatigue.
  • Noise control – natural ambience beats echoey indoor crowds.
  • Vitamin D – morning sun supports circadian rhythm for late-night notes.
