According to a report by the NSC (National Student Clearinghouse) 36 million adults have some college education. Roughly 10% (more than 3 million) are likely to return to college to complete their degree. An estimated 70-80% of graduate students work a full-time job while also working toward earning a post-graduate degree.
The Evolution of Online Learning
The evolution of online learning has made continuing education even easier. This can present a conundrum when working full-time, then attempting to complete coursework, or dissertation writing at home. Here’s where coworking space can come in handy.
Work-from-home space comes with the temptation to procrastinate, relax after a long day, or tidy up a few things. Suddenly, time has slipped away (not to mention other distractions and interruptions). A comfortable, off-site location with WiFi can provide the privacy needed for focusing uninterrupted on study and dissertation writing.
There’s also research on the psychology of separate spaces, and productivity. Going to work outside the home creates a space where all energy is focused on work. Trying to work or study in a home environment requires concentration and willpower to avoid distraction, since home is generally for relaxing and unwinding.
Coworking Space for Graduate Students
Optimally, each space should have its own purpose, and be set up exclusively to accommodate that purpose. A coworking environment can help separate work life from home life from student life. Used as a separate study space, coworking environments can stimulate focus, and goals can be achieved in a shorter period of time.
