A lot of parents just don't get this, so I'm going to try to explain.
Back in their generation, they got to study in peace and quiet. Distractions were unwanted. In today's universities, your neighbors are snoring, having sex, or talking loudly (gossiping or arguing). You don't want to hear these things! (No one does!)
So what do you do? You turn on the TV or you put in those headphones to drown out the distractions. Listening to music actually helped me focus more because it blocked out everything else, and I only had to block one thing out instead of 10 things.
