<p>It's my first year studying in US and I am going to buy some school supplies.</p>
<p>What do I need ?</p>
<p>I am taking 5 sujects: Spanish, English, AP Cal, AP Physics, and Biology.</p>
<p>I am so sorry for this dummy question.</p>
<p>can anyone reply to my stupid question ?</p>
<p>You'll need a graphing calculator, 5 notebooks, pens, pencils, a Spanish dictionary, and possibly a few bookcovers. Yep.</p>
<p>ehh, does your school tell you what you need??...that is the case with most schools..i think..</p>
<p>cool. thanks.</p>
<p>Like how students organize stuffs. Do they use binder or ?? We don't use binders. We just put notebooks in book bag and that's it</p>
<p>Binders irritate me.
I use the Five Star Flex Notebooks. They're a wonderful symbiosis of a notebook and binder.</p>
<p>I'm also obsessed with Post-It Notes.</p>
<p>some ppl. use binders..but yeah..find the notebooks with like a place to still put papers and stuff...</p>
<p>I have a 1" binder, just to organize the exorbitant amount of sheets I get in Spanish. I use to own this giant 2.5" binder that just ate up space in my back pack though.</p>
<p>Of the 5 notebooks you'll be getting, make sure that four of them are at least 3-subject notebooks (so you don't end up using two different notebooks for one class). I use a graphing notebook for Calc. Don't forget a multi-tabbed folder, one tab for each subject.</p>
<p>another stupid one.</p>
<p>Can I get all these things at Staples ?</p>
<p>so I should get 1'' binder ?</p>
<p>What is multi-tabbed folder for ?</p>
<p>Staples should have them. But you can get them in many stores, like Wal-Mart or Target. Just try to avoid getting cheap things that will need to be replaced during the year.</p>
<p>Office Max is a pretty cool store too.</p>
<p>so can anyone give me a final list ?</p>
<p>Staples is a RIP OFF when it comes to binders!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>You can't find a 1" binder for less than $7. At least, not at the staples I used to go to. And I checked three years in a row!!</p>
<p>I would suggest:</p>
<p>Scientific (no need to spend $100 on a graphing calculator just yet unless you're going to some prep school) calculator
3 packs loose-leaf paper (buy this as you need it)
red pens
pencils
black pens
notebooks/binders (your teachers may require one or the other--you might want to wait on this)
post its or highlighters (if these work for you)
index cards
erasers
pencil sharpener</p>
<p>--I'm probably forgetting a bunch of stuff, but this should give you a head start.</p>
<p>Thanks. </p>
<p>I am taking Calculus BC so is scientific calculator enough ?</p>
<p>Should I get 3 or 5 subjects notebook ?</p>
<p>1'' binder will be ideal right ?</p>
<p>If Staples is so expensive, should I get at office max then ?</p>
<p>Just go to Wal-Mart. Ah, welcome to capitalist America.</p>
<p>Just avoid the Hannah Montana aisle in the Walmart supplies. It's entirely nauseating. (they even sold Hannah Montana glue sticks!!!!)</p>
<p>^^^Isn't it sick???</p>
<p>I found High School Musical fake-purell yesterday. :)</p>
<p>The have a Hannah Montana aisle? Seriously? I knew there was a reason I've never been in Walmart.:)</p>
<p>As for school supplies:
Binders/notebooks - it's really just a matter of preference (and some teachers require one or the other)
Dividers for binders if you want/need them
Lined and graph paper (plus printer paper if you don't already have it)
Pencils
Black/blue pens
Calculator, graphing for most schools (many stores are having sales right now so you could get one for around $80)
Highlighters
Index cards
Lock for your locker (unless the school provides them or they're built in to the lockers)
Book covers, I prefer the cloth ones because you can reuse them but you can always use paper bags which are free</p>
<p>you're gonna need a graphing if youre taking calc</p>
