Anime about studying...
Ye, like the title says, studying is what I need, preferably about studying in college. Do not care as to what it contains, whether it be romance, action, ghosts, fantasy, drama, angst, comedy or even rape
Also, I don't mind the hikikomori genre either. Just recently I've watched NHK and am watching steins;gate and kamisama no memochou, so those are some examples I liked. Anyways, I am looking forward to your suggestions, as I haven't watched any anime of this sort, the only two exceptions being death note (yeah, he did go to college now didn't he?) and itazura na kiss (yup, they sure did study at college). The reason is mainly to see how that world is like, what to expect, and what to fantasize about, what to look forward to, what to be frightened about and explore a new genre in anime.... Appreciate all answers

Just a thought, maybe you'll like Baka to Test to Sokanju, The World God Only Knows, and Angel Beats! since those anime took place in schools most of the time (not college, mind you) and all of them is about learning something new. Oh, and also TWGOK has a kinda hikkikomori/otaku character that really hates the world too.

Technically there's a lot of anime where the main characters are technically in school and technically in the midst of "studying", but the plot usually doesn't have anything to do with it.
In this sense, both Nodame Cantabile and Honey and Clover both are good suggestions, because the fact that the characters are students at a university (a music college in the first, arts college in the second) actually does play a pretty important part in the story.

You might like Moyashimon, an unusual tale about a college freshman who can see microbes. Don't bother with the more recent live-action version; stick to the original anime series.

I second Love Hina, there's also Negima, School Days, School Rumble, Peach Girl & Ah! My Goddess that I can suggest to you aswell off-hand that all have a school based themed, be it either in full or part

Then I'll copy my list from other thread, mostly school:
Angel Beats - action, school life, supernatural, comedy Bamboo Blade - sports, kendo, school life, comedy (found it entertaining, and characters are nice too) Busou Renkin - action, supernatural, school life, comedy, drama Clannad - supernatural, slice of life, comedy, drama Code Geass - Mecha, comedy, drama, supernatural, military, school life (Not fully at school but there are a lot of scenes there) Full Metal Panic - action, comedy, school life, mecha Ga-Rei Zero - action, supernatural, drama comedy, schoo life (Not so much of school life but still has it. Heavy in drama but also has some nice humour) GTO - that's a must see! It is fully about school life and with a lot of humour! One of my favorites! Green Green - ecchi, comedy, school life, romance, supernatural Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou - echi, comedy, harem, action, school life, supernatural K-ON - 100% school life, comedy, music, moe Kaichou wa Maid-sama! - school life, comedy, romance Kanon 2006 - school life, comedy, drama, action Mai HiME - school life, comedy, drama, action, supernatural, romance (I really liked this series, some of the first I had watched) Shugo Chara - school life, comedy, supernatural, action, magical girl (If you don't mind something fluffy) Soul Eater - school life, action, supernatural, comedy (About shinigami school) Toaru Majutsu no Index - school life, action, supernatural, comedy Ao no Exorcist - school life, action, supernatural, comedy (still ongoing) Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai - school life, comedy, romance, supernatural (Really funny and unique, could be called harem at some point too) Toradora - school life, comedy, drama, romance Suzuka - School life, drama, romance, love triengle, comedy, sports Love Hina - University, harem, comedy (Mostly takes action not at Uni, but main character is trying to get in one. Manga is better) Rosario + Vampire - harem, comedy, school life, supernatural, romance, action (manga is better)

The OP is specifically looking for shows about college life. There are tons of shows about "school life," but they are usually set in middle or high school. There are many fewer shows about college life; that's why there are so few relevant replies like Tatami Galaxy, Nodame Cantabile, or Moyashimon.

Also, really appreciate the suggestions even though many of these were more in the high school area, and many of whom I've already watched. But like I said, I am past the high school area for now (unless some really cool ones show up, or sequels that soon start to air) and I hope to get some more suggestions.
