Tape Recorders
I am an upcoming freshman at a community college in the United States. I also plan on transfering to a university after 2 years to major in Literature/English.
I am trying to get a list of everything I will need for college together so I can start preparing for the amount of money I will be spending, etc. I found the perfect tape recorder from Office Depot that was $100 (not bad for the features it has), and I would like to buy it to assist me with my note taking. Many educational wesbties suggest having one, but they also say that some professors don't allow them. I don't want to pass up the good deal on this recorder, but I also don't want to buy it if I will not be able to use it.
Should I get it or not?

If you think that it will help you to succeed when you're in school, then I say go for it. You may be able to find a better deal online, but if you're not a poor recent college graduate (like myself) then go with the one that you like.
Most of my professors didn't seem to have a problem with tape recorders (I never used one, but there was usually a person in each of my classes that had one), though I assume that there would be some professors that would not be a fan of it. Your best bet would be to ask your professors on the first day of class, and honor their wishes if they don't feel comfortable with you recording their lectures.
Good luck in school.

Get it, and then ask your professors if they will let you use it.
Some might be totally against it, but some might be all for it.
You'll never know until you ask, but I definitely think it's worth buying.
