Research findings revealed that generally, the students in primary teachers’ colleges in South Western Uganda exhibited good study habits in their ability to read and taking of examinations; fair study habits in time management, harnessing physical conditions, note taking, motivation, and memorization; and poor study habits in health and wellness. The conclusion drawn from the findings and other researchers was that students of primary teachers’ colleges in South Western Uganda generally had fair study habits.
