I don't know about that. I left my fiancee back home and found that this only made things harder especially as I would travel home every weekend to see her. On the odd occasion when she visited me I found it to be a happier time and more relaxing to have her around.
Also it is not necessary to study in groups, even though the college kept banging on about how it was. I never studied in groups (nor did i live with other TATCs) other than the odd study session (whilst at college during the working day) before oral boards and you could also get the missus to test you.
Like you say, being great at exams is not the key
