<p>Can I get away with using wide-ruled paper in college?
The only kind of notebooks I like to use are wide ruled composition notebook.
Since I write in cursive, I always preferred to use wide-ruled instead of college ruled.
=(</p>
<p>I doubt that the grader will care if you turn in homework on wide rule, but I know that some classes use bluebooks for exam essays, so you might want to learn to write on college ruled.</p>
<p>I have actually not turned in anything handwritten besides blue books or math homework for my entire college education. I have no idea what rule blue books are, and for math homework I probably could have turned it in on construction paper for all it mattered.</p>
<p>Unless your professor specifies he or she wants college-ruled (and in that case, you’d HAVE to), I don’t see what the problem is. I highly doubt the professor/T.A./grader would care. ^^;</p>
<p>Most formal paper for writing courses in the social science or writing requirement courses will be typed anyways. For lower division math you can do your homework on anything, but most upper division math courses have strict policies on what to use since it is a larger portion of your grade like 20-40% v.s. 5%-10%</p>
<p>You are going to be more worried about 1) font size, 2) line spacing, 3) font type and 4) where to turn in your assignments (turnitin.com, email, class website, etc) than you are with wide ruled vs college ruled. As somebody said, they usually provide you an exam (blue book) if you are taking an essay test. That’s the only time you will hand something in hand written, where it HAS to be hand written. </p>
<p>You can take notes on napkins if you wish. If wide ruled works for you, use it.</p>
<p>Most of the only things I’ve ever had to turn in handwritten I’ve turned in on computer (no lines, blank) paper, and that’s really just been for Math. You shouldn’t be writing anything that you can type reasonably (I know you can type math, but it’s more effort than it’s worth).</p>

<p>With red crayon, that would have been funny as hell. Probably not worth it if you needed a good grade, but really funny.</p>
