How a good one runs
What a good study group plan looks like
There is a topic, a time box, and somebody who knows enough to get newcomers going in ten minutes. Most plans land between 3 and 10 people: enough energy, still easy to learn names.
Tip for your first one: bring a question. It is the easiest way to start talking with people you just met.

Study group questions
Do I need to be good at study group?
No. There are no levels for study group. People come for the company as much as the thing itself.
What does it cost to join?
Your share of the plan’s costs, like a court or a table, split evenly and paid up front. On a free plan, the RSVP the host set. It is charged when the plan happens and is not refunded for cancelling or not coming, so everyone who says yes actually goes. If the plan does not happen, you are not charged.
What if the host cancels?
Nobody is charged, and you get a message straight away. The same happens if the plan does not reach its minimum number of people.
Love study group? Host it.
