What to bring to uni? (1 Viewer)

[eb590]

This may sound silly, but does need to be known by all '09 newbies. What do I take to uni, when it comes to books, folders etc? Or do most people use laptops?

Some people take lappys, but they are easily distracting, for everyone haha.
Most people just have sheets of looseleaf paper, some put it in a folder, some shove it in their back pocket. Other people prefer exercise books, one for each subject or one for the entire semester.

Do whatever works for you. Just bare in mind, it's not like in year 12 where everyone walks around with a massive folder

 

[eb590]

Awesome, thanks! I'm glad my painful days of carrying huge folders (memories of yr 12) everywhere are diminishing

 

[em_516]

Yes, look forward to that little bruise on your hip fading in time.

Errrr, it's not?

Meh, I just get the Quill black A4 notebooks to write lecture notes in, and scribble on the lecture slides. Other than that, nothing else works for me.

I have a folder this year, but only because I'm not on campus and don't have to carry it. I dunno, not many people in my discipline had one, maybe it's different in commerce and shit.

I got one of those 4 in 1 lecture books and a folder for each subject for loose papers.

Theeeen a pencil case with a few pens and a highlighter.. thats pretty much it.

[bheck7]

[jumb]

If I lived on campus, I'd love to turn up to a lecture wearing only a bathrobe and uggboots. Unfortunately I don't and it never really gets that cold anyway.

[The_highwayman]

I type all my notes on my netbook. Absolutely fantastic. Everyone should do it.
Before that I found myself drowning in looseleaf paper.

Please wear high heels to uni. Ur legs look better in heels and if u stack it it'll make me lol. Laughter is so beautiful.
