I have a multifunction drafting ruler with a universal roller attachment for drafting. It does EVERYTHING

ooh, also I got a cheap kindle e-reader and put all my notes on it in PDF for review.

And an espresso machine and grinder! And source your beans at Costco

My roommate got a beautiful printer with 1200DPI scanner for ~100$. absolutely essential.

Andie Graph graphing calculator app if you've got an android phone

Second the whiteboard call. Also, I got these little sticky things for slapping papers on the wall, great for reference while drafting.

one of these or similar.

Dropbox and put EVERYTHING in it


That covers it, mostly. Dollarama has some good mechanical pencils, and I just stole all my drafting paper from my roomie. She doesn't need it, she's in the sciences.

I use one of these for math and econ. It makes drawing graphs (especially in econ) a lot clearer

That looks 1) awesome, and 2) oddly like one of those multi-colored retractable pens if you take the top off. eg

It's a four colour ballpoint! Not an "artpen" as such and I mainly use it in school when cleaning up notes, but they're pretty fun to draw with as well! it's a bicpen so it's actually decently cheap.

Also got another in pastel tones :)

Thank you for your suggestion, I wasn't as clear as I should have been.
Im looking for something more along the lines of this Pen style

Another good idea is to use one of those multicolor pens like this, especially for STEM courses so you can write each step of a problem in a different color (as many professors do).

Thanks for the contest!

Couldn't she just get one of these?
