I usually find, the best way for me to concentrate on my homework is to literally have peace and quiet in a comfortable location. During my time at college my most comfortable location was my own room. I don't do well with distractions and my mind can wander fairly easily. The less distractions there are, the better chance I have when concentrating on my homework.
I had lived in residence during my entire time at college and from time to time I always found it hard to study especially when I was on a floor with 30 to 40 other students. Like any college residence I would assume you would have quiet hours, but a lot of times they were incredibly lenient with it. The first two years of university I really struggled with it. I couldn't hold it against anybody because it was college I wasn't going to get bent out of shape just because some students were making noise.
My third year I finally devised a way that I could concentrate without any distractions while still being in my residence room. What I did, is that I set up the majority of my courses in such a way, that they would be either early in the morning, really late in the afternoon, and a night course.
So with that kind of schedule during my last two and a half years. I use to stay up all night and do my homework and it worked because for the most part after 11:00/12:00 in the night; everybody was asleep. Went to my morning classes, got my lunch early, took a nap, woke up to my late afternoon courses or night course. Finished those, went for another nap. Woke up and repeated. During some days I had to adjust because some of the times for my courses were in the late morning or early afternoon, but that would just mean I would go to bed at 4 or 5 in the morning.
As strange as it was, I actually found it really good and my marks and the quality of my work really improved during my last few years at college.
