I’m a college freshman ( I start my first day tomorrow) and I don’t know how many notebooks I should bring. I have one class a day from tuesday through saturday for the fall semester and then I have three classes in the winter. Should I just use one big notebook? (If so, how should I organize it?) or should I bring a bunch of smaller ones for each class? (I already have one big one, but I’m having doubts… what should I use it for?)
I used 5 subject notebooks sometimes and just divided my five classes into each section of the notebook. Sometimes I used a different notebook for each class. It really doesn’t matter.
I have a binder with loose leaf paper in the front and tab dividers behind the paper. That way I can put any printed notes in the appropriate class section and never have to worry about forgetting my notebook for a particular class.
What did you do in high school?
I take notes on loose leaf and then put them in an accordion folder that has a slot for each of my classes, which is where I put all my papers related to my classes.
