Hi Maycee I have just finished my first semester of the BSN Program and I had a one and a half inch binder for each class. I organized them with our specified coursepacks, dividers, and so on. Anything to make them look neat and tidy! Teehee. I also brought a clipboard to every class (to take notes etc). It is personal choice, but I have found that a clipboard is much more useful than those 3 or 5 subject notebooks. Sure they look nice, lol, but I always end up wasting so much paper, because I never end up using the whole book! Neways, I also like to take my notes on lined paper so I can remove from my binder when I study. Good luck!!! Jen:p
