You know who you are What planner do you like to use & why? I've enjoyed Lily Pulitzer, Erin Condren, Plum Paper, and the generic Walmart planners. Tell me your favorite! :)
I had the Uncalendar a couple of years ago. The layout was great, but it's so plain that I really wanted something a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I got an Erin Condren for the last school year, and while I do love how beautiful it is, there just isn't enough room to write down all the stuff for myself, my husband, my kids, and nursing school. I'll be going back to the Uncalendar for the fall semester, more than likely.
It's been years since I was a student, but to keep track of my life (work schedule, call schedule, bills to pay, etc.) I really like the Emily Ley Simplified Planner. Month at a glance plus daily pages. M-F are a full page with hourly schedule on one side, a to do list, notes, and something else on the other. Weekends (S-S) share a page and are split into AM/lunch/PM with a short to do list, notes, on the other half. Also has inspirational quotes on each page. A little large if you're looking for something to carry around in a purse, but it works well for me. Her website (not sure if I can post it, but just Google Emily Ley and you'll find it) also has a free printable library, including a daily planner sheet that is very similar to what is in the full planner.
When I was in school, I loved one I found on Etsy. I was able to personalize the classes I wanted (I also had sections for personal and work) and it would come preprinted with my the sections I wanted.

I was the perfect size, and I liked it more than my Condrin.

I use the mini calendars (for portability) that come with my yearly wall calendars. I also have a separate desk calendar (that I got at the dollar store) for planning/school assignments/readings.
It works for me, plus I'm super cheap and don't like to spend money on planners :)
