I recommend spiral notebooks which have the tear line so you can rip pages out if you dont want them

i've always used these. plus i'm really weird in that i always write in pencil (except when forced not to, in certain exams). i hate not being able to rub out my mistakes...

I like doing that too, but pencils feel significantly slower than pens so I only use them now for maths and chinese

I always use pens. I write incredibly hard and I will break any pacer in the world. Pencils are just a pain in the ass to sharpen all the time.

I use pen for maths too.

That's my problem too =o
Like, some of my friends were fascinated by the fact that on each page of my note books you can feel dints in it from my writing.
I used pencil for chinese because every other character I'd make a mistake, and for drawing graphs, but apart from that pens all the way

Anyway, I've always been a fan of those cheapy 128p notebook things. The ones with swirly spines, after a month they get all deformed under my care =)

I'm thinking about getting a laptop soon for uni. My cousin says he finds it a lot easier to take down notes and go over.

Does anybody take notes in Uni Lectures straight onto a laptop? Like, in the lecture hall?

Me too! One of my Primary school  teachers once said that a blind person could read my writing.

HAHAHA, was that an unintentional satirical pun?

That is the main problem with loose leaf, you'll lose it.
