Community College Checklist, Updated for Fall 2018.

There are many people who attend a community college prior to transferring to a university. Doing this is a great way to save money and cuts down on the items needed to purchase for college, unless you’re moving to another city/state to attend community college. Since most people attending community college continue to reside at home, this list is a compiled list of school supplies most college students need.

Backpack/book bag

Binder

Calculator (check course syllabus for specifics)

Colored Pencils

Cup for pencils

Desk Organizer

Dry Erase Board and Markers

Envelopes

Erasers

Folders

Folder/Letter Holder

Glue

Hole-puncher (3 hole)

Highlighters

I.D. Holder & Lanyard

Index cards

Index card holder

Markers

Mechanical pencils/wooden pencils

Notebooks (8)

[college ruled] paper

Paper clips

Pencil case

Pens (blue, black, and red ink)

Permanent Markers

Planner

Post-it Page tabs

Post-it Notes

Post-it Note Dispenser

Ruler

Scantrons (if your professors require you to buy your own)

Scissors

Tape & tape dispenser

Water Bottle

Also, make sure to purchase these items during back to school sales, or tax free weekend. Do not purchase any of these items (other than the scantrons) at the college bookstore, because these items are cheaper at large retailers.

I announced that I became a Resident Assistant (RA) sometime last Fall. Our door decoration theme was Movies. So, these were my door decorations for Spring 2015! Each of the 40 Minions I made were made hand-made entirely out of construction paper, black sharpie, and glued together. They were all laminated, then students names were written on them. Just thought I would share. :)

The first item I found was a toilet bowl brush, it was only $1 and it was no different from the ones at Target which were $6.50 and up. So, it was a good find, it’s sturdy and definitely useful since I...
