The Best Study Music for College

While there will be plenty of opportunities to pump up some high energy jams from the latest hits to EDM bangers, when it’s time to study you need something that will be effective for studying and retaining focus. For most individuals, this means music that does not contain lyrics, and that as a slower BPM, with a calming effect. At the same time the music should carry enough energy to motivate and provide focus, without putting you to sleep. There are many genres that fit this bill; however we will be focusing on five of our favorite study music for college that is readily available across the music streaming platform of your choice, from a Spotify playlist to a YouTube video.
