Answer 1

i dont know

Answer 2

I was possibly the oldest freshman at my college, having put off the experience to raise a family. My supplies were no different than the young'ns tho. I found that it helped to 'travel light.' I carried a backpack with a spiral notebook for each class, a supply of mechanical pencils (don't have to sharpen those) and several ink pens in blue and black ink, highlighters in at least two different colors and a fistful of change for the munchie machines. It is also VERY helpful to invest about $50 in a micro-recorder, which you can buy at Radio Shack. This allows you to record the class on days you might not be up to devoting your full attention (and there will be days like that).

At home, after school, I made flash cards with highlights of the day's classes, for these reasons:

1. The act of writing down salient points in each class helped reinforce the material.

2. I had a reference for tests that could be accessed during any free time during the day or night.

Use different colors of ink for each point; it helps them stand apart.

Do not forget your senses of wonder and curiosity. They are the most valuable tools you will use in college.

Answer 3

Same stuff you use in high school. All your professors will tell you on the first day what you will need for the class. I usually get one 1-subject notebook and one folder for each class, a bunch of pens and a few pencils, and hilighters. Other than that, it depends on what classes you are taking. For example, if you are taking a calculus class, you will need a graphing calculator, which your professor should tell you the best model to get. If you are taking art courses, it's a safe bet you'll need drawing pencils and a scratch pad. A backpack or some sort of bag is a good idea too if you have lots of classes in a row and nowhere to stash your books between classes.

Answer 4

Dude, it's no different from what you needed for highschool. Your biggest concern shouldn't be about the backpack and notebooks, but on how to save money on your text books. That's the biggie, so whatever you do, don't buy new. Get em used, and you'll probably find them cheaper at half.com or some site like that.
If you take classes that require special supplies, like art classes, or design, etc. the prof will tell you on the first day, and it will also be on the syllabus.
Finally, since you will either be taking math classes right away, or eventually, get yourself a scientific calculator. You don't need an expensive one.
Good luck

Answer 5

Well, I just asked a question about the best backpack to use, so I'll get back to you on that one when I find out.
But you are definitely going to need lots of notebooks. I had one for each class, and folders to keep all your papers in. You need lots of pencils, enough for yourself, and everyone around you because you can count on having several stolen throughout the semester. A good calculator is really important. I would suggest the TI-83. And you need to have a persevering attitude. It is going to be tough, but if you hang in there and do all your work, you can do well!

Answer 6

Invest in a good quality backpack. Pens, Mechanical pencils, highlighters, stapler (small), calculator for graphing if statistics is one of your classes, Two or three 5 subject notebooks. If anything else is needed then it will say so on your syllabus, during the first class meeting.

Answer 7

Well I would have a slim notebook for each lecture class, some pens ands a pencil, and a folder for each class to keep the syllabi and handouts from each class. Don't buy too much, your professors will tell you in the first class exactly what is needed. A backpack is a good idea.

Answer 8

everything you need will be availible at the student bookstore, however sometimes it is more pricey.

I usually take one notebook for each class, however if the teacher is all about hand outs then a 3 right binder is best.
The same type of suppiles you used in highschool will be fine, pencils, high lighters, etc. If you are in science or engineering you may need either a lab notebook or a pad of engineering paper. If you are in arts, you again might need special paper.

the things people tend to forget are more dorm related.. i lamp, extension cords, a cord to connect the cable to the tv, etc...

good luck!

Answer 9

I made it through all my college years with a notebook and pencil. If your courses require anything more specific (like clay for art courses, tapes for television courses, etc) your professor will let you know. Stick with a notebook, paper, folder and a pencil. Your books will give you more than enough to carry around so keep it to the bare min.

Good luck in college

Answer 10

Assignment book
-keep up with your assignments

Spiral Notebooks
- can write your notes in

Binders
- depends on how many classes you are taking and you can use these for classes that require a lot of writing assignments to be turned in

1.44 Floppy Disks or Memorex Travel Drive
- need it to store all your documents for computer class as well as other classes

Tape Recorder
- only used with professors permission so you can keep up in class

Pencil sharpener
- it is best to get mechanical pencils they save you sometime from sharpening in class

3x5 note cards
- use to study for exams

Post-it® notes
- can be used for reminders
Ruler
- used for math courses

Dictionary and thesaurus
- can use to look up words or substitute other words

Highlighter pens
- use yellow because if you want to trade in used books for money they will only accept yellow

Graph Paper
- use it for math courses that require you to graph

Small Stapler (classrooms really don't have staplers)

Pocket Folder with Brads
- some professors prefer for you to turn your assignments in with it

Pencils

Black or Blue Pens

Backpack

Scientific Calculators
- used for all math courses except developmental math I and II

Paper clips
- to hold paper together

The comment what "CMM" is also right you do need to get cheap books from Project Pass (service used for Financial aid assistance students who need books and a tutors for their classes), bookstore, friends or people who are selling them. Depending on what Humanities/Fine Arts elective you plan on taking, the syllabus will tell you everything once you get in there.

Answer 11

Of course all the things you mentioned, depending on your schedule you might want a 5 subject note book with tabs. Those give you sections for each class and all of your notes are in the same place. By all means try to get your books used! Granted there is book buy back but they NEVER give you what you paid for them. You may also want a binder and a 3 hole punch to keep all the handouts you get from your professors. I think that is about it.
