So I'm off to uni in September so will no longer get the homework diary my school used to give us (unless I can get my sister to sneak me and extra one!) And from being on this thread, and the first one, I've been thinking of the Palgrave. However now I've acually search I've found there's a "The Palgrave Student Planner 2015-16 (Palgrave Study Skills)" which is the one people seemed to get last year, and "Student Planner and Academic Diary 2015-2016". Okay I've literally just realised when I went back that the second one isn't part of the Palgrave range which I thought it was since it came up near the top of the search. However, it looks pretty similar so has anyone ever got that one instead? I think it's by Pearson, but I don't remember any mentioning of it before?

I had a palgrave it was excellent, I only stopped using it because I study social work and had too much to put in it as I have uni 20 hours a week! It was really good though and I think I decided on it through reading lots of palgrave vs Pearson threads! They are very similar to school planners and are really well laid out! ☺️

I had the Pearson one in 1st year. I preferred the look of it to the Palgrave one. It was deemed pretty much redundant though, as I later invested in a Filofax :smile:

I'm so excited to buy like a trillion notebooks and an abundance of pens/pencils to fill my desk with in accommodation.

Anyone seen The Mighty Boosh? Might re-create Howard's Stationery Village :wink:

I saw those too! I thought it was a bit steep price wise but then realised there's 480 sticky notes in it and now I can't decide if its worth buying!

Thank you

I think I'll look into the pearson one more to try and decide :biggrin:

I have a more basic notebook from Paperchase and the paper in that is really nice quality, feels nice and thick and is smooth to write on. If they use the same paper in all their notebooks I reckon you'll be fine. It's not up to the standard of the paper in the Oxford notebooks but it is very close :smile:

Definitely faster for me, I can only write 20 words a minute and I can type 50 . Having fully searchable colourful notes that can never get lost and back themselves up works pretty well once you get the hang of it.

I'm doing teacher training at uni so lots of modules. Was thinking of using refill pads and transferring notes into folders and stuff but then of course there is the option of having a separate notepad for each module and now I'm stuck on what to do! Can anyone recommend what works better, particularly in terms of carrying what you need around all day?

I just used an Oxford notepad for all and transferred into separate files. It means less to carry around when you have a mixture of subjects on the same day. My friend used separate ones and would often realise she had the wrong one!

I would probably use the refill paper and transfer them.
Usually I bring one folder to uni and have all the recent/relevant stuff for all my modules in that one folder. Then once a week I transfer all the stuff into individual folders for each module.
I prefer this method as if you had to add additional notes it's easier just to write them on refill paper and slot them into the file instead of leaving gaps in notebooks etc...

Can anyone recommend any coloured pads? I like the Pukka Pad coloured refills because they're much easier on my eyes and I seem to be able to remember things better when notes are on different colours, but I LOVE the Oxford pads (of course!) for their 90gsm quality paper - does anyone know of any great quality paper pads that come in different coloured paper?

I was near a Disney store today again and was so tempted, but I avoided it because we were in a rush. I really like the normal notepad as well, and the small project pad with the different emotions... That would be great as a reflective journal! The whole range would actually be great for kids to help with emotional understanding as well.

I want everything.
