What supplies to bring to Community College? - Page 2

1986 was a good year for Trapper Keepers. I guess now days it's powerpoint presentations and online stuff so buy a nice light laptop and a backpack that has room for both papers and the said laptop. I like those 1 inch binders so I could punch holes in the class notes and put them in.

When I was in college, even the cheap laptops were about $1500 and the ones I needed were about $2000 so I never owned one while in college (and I was a computer science major) so you can certainly get away with using the school computer lab and a cheap desktop at home, but now days you can buy a $500 laptop that does anything you need for school, but I digress.

I would bring a notebook and a pen for the first week. You'll figure out what you need by then.

Yea, I may roll with a laptop if it seems very beneficial...but I will keep it old school for now and see what happens...

...I'm more nervous about going back to school, lol...it's been almost a decade......

Turn that nervous energy into paying attention in class and reading the notes and the book.

Yes sir! lol...I know...I got my game plan down......

I should have payed attention to the "Don't buy books until the semester starts..." suggestion. I rented a used book from the school store and apparently we need a NEW book for a code included within new textbooks. So let's see how exchanging works out tomorrow.

12 pack of crayons
construction paper

Whatever you used in High School, USB FD, and a TI-calculator.

Do it as soon as possible!!

For a math class, I will buy the access code (to do homework online) and rent the book. I actually just rented it. It'll cost $20

come to think of it.. this like a very obvious thing to just know.... when you register, a week before classes, some teachers/instructors/Drs will send you a syllabus of what is needed

Interesting point, I may have to check my college hosted email account to see if I got any emails from staff or teachers.
