It doesn't appear to happen with all searches, but take a look at your results and you might notice. |

I'm a little worried this is going to work against me in law school. I don't think I'd ever join a study group, but now that I've spent all this time studying alone, it makes me wonder what I'm missing out on. Also, I don't have anyone to gauge my study habits against. |
