College Supplies
I am starting college this fall and I need to know what kind of supplies I should buy. I know I'll need my textbooks, pens/pencils & paper, but what are the other necessities for an English writing class and a Math class? Answers from people who are already in college would help. Thanks in advance.

Here is a great money saving tip: Don't buy any books for class until after at least your first day - half of my professors didn't even use the "required" textbooks. Or you can find a friend taking the class at a different time slot and split the cost of the book. Other supplies include a great calculator, a five subject notebook for each set of classes (ex - MWF classes in one notebook, split up by subject - less to carry when running across campus), highlighters are helpful for studying, index cards are great as flash cards for (*Great Study Tip - remember to review the flash cards every night for about 15 minutes and you'll never have to spend a TON of time studying for tests), and, finally, lots of easy to grab semi-healthy snacks to give you energy! Good luck!

you'll probably need a calculator, a daily planner.organizer to write down our assignments, a protractor, 5 subject notebook, and some highlighters.

Well, usually for the first day or so the professors aren't going to hound you if you don't have all your supplies. Usually they will provide you with a syllabus that dictates all of that to you. Each teacher and class will vary. But to be ahead of the game, keep these things in mind/get:
-A daily planner or organizer to write down due dates and assignments
-Highlighters, sticky notes/tabs to notate important points in readings
-note cards to make flash cards
-Blue Books and a variety of count scantrons
-graphing calculator
-a five subject spiral for taking notes
A quick tip: Avoid buying any small item supplies at your school book store; they are usually way over priced!
Also, try looking for textsbooks online at places like Textbooks.com or Amazon.com for lower prices!
If you are going away to school don't forget your dorm supplies as well. :)
