With unending online classes, study streaming channels and vloggers see an uptick among students desiring peer company
First, the thermos and the coffee mug. One by one, Merve places her laptop, study material and stationery, on an organised window desk in her Glasgow home. For the next hour, she records herself studying, to the sound of gentle rain pouring outside. Intermittently, you hear her flip pages, pen scratching words, fingers dancing on keys.
“Hopefully, that helps you know I’m there studying with you,” she says. It does: around the globe, almost three lakh people from 167 countries have been studying with her. On her YouTube channel, this International Relations student at the University of Glasgow has a variety of one to six-hour long ‘Study With Me’ sessions, shot in carefully chosen, aesthetic locations: on snowy days inside the library, at twilight with birds chirping.
