<p>Do you guys have any particular recommendations for personal planners? I use my high school issued one and I really depend on it. Is there any specific kinds of planners or planners with certain characteristics that would be useful for college students? </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Most college have school stores that sell planners. Keep in mind you’re gonna have less classes with (typically) less h/w than in high school. It’s really going to be more about learning/studying; keeping track of the few homework assignments you’ll have each semester is easy–any planner should suffice.</p>
<p>I assume you’re a frosh? My dorm supplied everyone with one!!! =) If not, go to the bookstore and buy one. they are extremely helpful and I use mine everyday!</p>
<p>Any planner will do, the ones I have is a bit smaller than a 8.5*11 peice of paper folded in half. but it works wonderz!!!</p>
<p>I was really dependent on my planner in high school, too. I bought a small one to use in college, but I actually stopped using it after a while. The syllabi that the professors hand out have all the assignments on them, so it seems pointless to transfer them all to a planner.</p>
<p>thanks for responses guys. I guess I just need a generic one.</p>
<p>My provides every freshman with one during residence hall check-in. I’ve found that computer planners work best for me, personally. iCal has made life much easier this semester.</p>
<p>dude… a planner is a planner. lets not over complicate things.</p>
<p>I’d go with one of these:

<p>I suggest the best: <a href=“http://www.google.com/calendar[/url]”>http://www.google.com/calendar</a></p>
<p>I use it all the time and it sends me emails and pop-ups notifying me of due dates, etc. You can even print out the calendars and put them on your wall. It’s extremely easy to use and you can use pre-made calendars such as holidays to help you out. In addition, you can download desktop applications to notify you on your desktop too! :)</p>
<p>The last thing we need is Google invading our lives even more… They index all the information they can, and then they index information they shouldn’t, like emails, contacts, calendars, conversations; they know everything about you, and you willingly provide them with your entire life. They can even know where you are at all times, assuming you have the Google GPS function turned on for your cell phone. If you have your dekstop app running on your computer, they can monitor everything you do, for the purpose of “anonymous information collection.” It has been suggested (with evidence) that the information is not truly anonymous and can be traced back to you. This is truly something to worry about, yet people don’t care at all.</p>
