Answer 1

-Index cards.

-A calender or daily planner.

-A notebook for each class.

-A binder with section dividers for each class for all the papers you get from your teachers.

-This might seem silly or obvious but don't overlook it. If you're going for extended periods each day bring something to eat or take time during a break to get food. I think you can get so wrapped up in everything you have to do each day for school you can forget to do something as basic as eat.

Answer 2

a babysitter for your kids...?. a calendar, just be really organized

Answer 3

Don't forget childcare outside of class...you need time to read and study without your children around, and back up for emergencies.  Buy extra printer ribbons.  Have you set up e-mail through your college?  Familiarize yourself with the library and other services you may need before you need them.  Good luck!  (college prof)

Answer 4

Well, some people like to take a voice recorder and record lectures. I tried that, but I'm more of a visual learner so it didn't really help me.

Also, *index cards* are awesome...I use so many when studying for exams. Write questions or terms on one side and answers or definitions on the other side, and they'll help out a lot.
