<p>I’m a incoming freshman at USC and I am not sure what school supplies I need. Do I need pencil/pen/ paper or do must USC students study only with their laptop and rarely use paper and pencil??? Please comment on school supplies that I will need. I’m a political science major if it helps. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Depends if you prefer taking notes in a notebook or typing them on your laptop or printing PowerPoint slides (if the professor posts them ahead of time) and taking notes on the printouts, the decision is yours.</p>
<p>The usc bookstore on campus sells anything you’ll need. Your best bet is to wait until the first day of class and then go to the bookstore to buy whatever spiral bound notebooks you need. Some classes you’ll use laptop (if allowed), some it is hand notes in a notebook, and some classes you take notes on printed out powerpoint slides.</p>
