Really amazing and thorough planner
Really amazing and thorough planner!Very organised lay out, you can tell it was designed for university students as it has pages to write down module information.It contains everything from budgeting information to revision planners and also has a handy pocket and ruler. I'll never buy a different brand again!

The perfect planner for University students
I am a first-year student at University and this planner is the best I've used yet!Below I will list some of my favourite features of this calendar:-It is well protected by thick, yet lightweight, plastic on both sides so I believe it will stay in great condition until the end of the year.- Contain a section where you can add your key dates and events that you do not want to forget about. It has individual sections for University events e.g. work placements, and it has a separate section for the more 'social' events e.g. concerts and gigs. With the correct use of this calendar, you will not miss out on anything !!- Separate sections where you can add the contact details of your tutors and lecturers. This section I found to be really useful- Provides you with useful websites and contacts (they actually seem to be useful too)- Helpful tips of the week to help you stay focused as the year goes onAnd so much more great contents !!In my opinion, the only thing that could be improved about this calendar is the space available for the events- as if you have many events, the space provided in the 'event' section of the calendar would possibly not be enough. Even though, I still believe that this is a great calendar and I would recommend it to any University student who wants to stay at the top of their work and ace their Universristy degree whilst not forgetting about any of the awesome social events that University offers.

Very useful!
I have been using this student planner for my first semester and I have got to say it is absolutely brilliant! It helps me to keep my dates in check and it helps to reminds me of when I have assignments due in or upcoming exams! It also has a timetable that you are able to fill in incase you're unsure of what class you have next. I love it and will definitely be purchasing one for my final year of uni if still available :)

Bring on 3rd year!
Everything you need and more! Going into 3rd year at uni, I feel very prepared. Organization is a big factor in the success of year. Comes with handy tips and detailed sections for month overview,weekly, timetable etc.. If you want to be super organized this planner is for you. It also came the next day, despite selecting standard delivery!

Fantastic but don't settle if the quality doesn't seem right!
The first item I received was in terrible condition. It was dirty and broken and appeared used. I have since ordered a replacement and I couldn't be happier with it.Don't settle if you receive a bad quality one because this planner is top. Hopefully it was just a one off and everyone else gets it delivered in the condition it should be in!

This is the only student planner you should get
Once again this company have helped me organise my ever so busy life.It has the right dates, the right amount of space to write and is easy to use and navigate.The planner has a good sturdy band to hold it closed, which has dramatically been improved since last years edition (Not that it was a major issue previously).The planner has a nice design, and the plastic cover helps protect it from general wear and tear.If you want a student planner, this is the only one suitable to do the job!

A great little planner
A great little planner. Lots of extra information included. A bit pricy for a planner, but it has quite a lot of extra features. Well made too.
