I'm just dual enrolling at a local community college and I'll start classes tomorrow. I got my textbooks, laptop, notebooks, binders, and pens. What else do I need? |

What else do I need? | I taught Freshman college classes for a semester, and to me it sounds like you're set. Note that Targus makes some nifty notebook computer backpacks. Don't buy a calculator until you find out if a particular type is recommended by the math teacher.
Packing a lunch and something to drink from home can save you a lot of time and money. Don't ever leave your stuff anywhere, especially your computer. |

| | | | Less is more. Seriously.
My first year I bought a ton of fancy crap, nice binders, folders, pens, electronics, etc. and realized I didn't need half the things I had.
Textbooks, some loose leaf paper, cheap paper binders, pens/pencils are all that's really needed.

Ugh. I need new clothes, that's what I was trying to figure out. Vintage t-shirts have value, like vintage Fenders right?  |

Targus-branded stuff just screams "steal me!". One possibility is to get a sleeve for the laptop, and carry it in a normal backpack.
Then again, I've managed fine without a laptop at lectures, but of course it depends what you're taking. A good automatic pencil and a proper eraser are the two most important things.

I know some people use a PDA, smartphone, or laptop for these things, but a regular old day planner and a pen is what I used and it made all the difference. IME, if you want to do well in school, and you're not a genius, timing is everything. The difference between an A student and a B student, is that the A student starts his homework the day it is assigned and the B student starts his just before it is due. The A student now has time to ask pertinent questions in class and see the prof during office hours. They also end up helping out other classmates who can't get it right the day before the assignment is due. This only reinforces the learning. Come test time, bingo.
That's my $0.02. Don't worry about the cool Trapperkeeper with the unicorn and the rainbow on it or the cool laptop, make sure you have good time management and work hard. Best of luck to you. |

I've realised its more is less strategy works well. I agree with a planner with assessment and stuff on it... I'm lucky I have a human one.
