study or studying

[peter123]

Hi native speakers,
what is difference between study and studying?

For example,
Students should learn to balance between study OR studying and social activities.

Many thanks

''study'' is a regular noun while ''studying'' is a gerund. Because ''activities'' is also a regular noun, the sentence will have grammatical balance if ''study'' is used.
Students should learn to balance study and social activities. (don't need ''between'')
