10 Reviews: Best Notebook for Students (Apr 2024)

The waterproof claims of this small top-spiral notebook are true. When wet, Rite in the Rain’s All-Weather paper will not turn to mush and will repel water, sweat, grease, mud, and even survive an accidental laundry mishap. Whether you need a hiking journal, to start a golf journal, or simply to keep a shower notebook, the Polydura Cover material will protect your notes from scratches and stains.

These are great notebooks for students doing field studies in unpredictable weather.

Amazon never fails to deliver affordable products without sacrificing quality. The College Ruled Composition Notebook is no exception. You’ll get a 4-pack of assorted marble colors, each with 100 sheets of paper. The binding is securely sewn into the 9.8 x 7.5-inch pages, and the sturdy paperboard covers protect the pages and provide writing support.

I love these. As a college student taking online classes only, these are the perfect size to fit into my desk organizer, and I can even put things I print off into them! I love them and I will keep buying them!

With a table of contents and numbered pages, the Leuchtturm1917 notebook gets you off to a good start. There are 249 pages of acid-free dotted paper, stitched binding, and cover elastic. Each notebook also includes a page-marking ribbon and labeling stickers. Even better, there are 24 various cover colors to pick from so you can find the one that matches your personality the most.

This is my favorite color 1917 journal. Love all the colors, tho. Creative people can't exist with out s few of these in your art room or office. Students... notes and assignments for each class. Love them.

The Fusion works with erasable pages, allowing you to reuse it thousands of times while saving trees. Not only that, but it has a range of different pages spread throughout the notebook, such as a task list, weekly planner, monthly calendar, and more. The best part is that you can send the notes you write on each to several applications like Dropbox using the free Rocketbook app for iOS and Android.

This is an excellent product. I am a college student and being able to write all my notes manually helps retain information over typing them plus I can add drawings to my notes. [...]

This mint, gridded notebook is an affordable choice for newbie bullet journalers that won’t have you wondering, “Why did I spend $50 on a journal I may not use?” If you want to doodle with ink pens, reviewers particularly praise the paper’s durability. Furthermore, this dotted grid notebook has 128 pages, giving you plenty of room for note-taking, planning, and scheduling.

I love this journal. I have two, bought one as a present, and suggested it to peers. I’m a masters student and in training to be a mental health therapist and used two to keep my life together this year. This notebook has been through it all.

This is a classic notebook with excellent quality for the price and a nice size. The paper does not bleed, and you may choose whether you want lines, no lines, ruled, dotted, or anything else. The leather-like classic Moleskine cover and thick, ivory paper sheets are ideal for fountain pen writing. The Classic also includes a back pocket, which is useful for keeping memories.

I am a college student and I really like the quality of the moleskin notebooks. I haven’t found any other notebook that I like as much as these.

Meet the Panda Planner Pro, which helps you concentrate on monthly focus/exercise goals (whether they’re physical or mental), daily habits you want to embrace, and that provides room for reflection on your progress toward those goals. In contrast to most planners, the dates are not prefilled, thus no page is wasted. Plus, each planner is designed to last six to nine months.

Absolutely love my Panda Planner, it helps me everyday stay focused and organized. Definitely recommend this for the working professional and student. Give you both morning, daily goals to live by and improves productivity for work, school and family life.

A leather hardcover journal, such as this Lemome Thick Classic Notebook, is a long-lasting, sturdy option. The durable cover will keep your work notes safe, and the elastic pen loop will keep your writing tool close at hand. The notebook is well-made, with 180 thick, premium pages that can be written on with most pens (except fountain pens). Lay the notebook flat without difficulty to gain better control over your note-taking.

This product is perfect for introducing journaling to a class. It is well made having the pen holder and file like folder in the back. Students will love the features.

Moleskine places the majority of the “smarts” in the pen part of this writing set, which has a camera integrated into the tip that can record your pen strokes—it even has a microphone to record audio. However, they are not erasable like a Rocketbook. That means you may retain your paper notes, but you’ll have to purchase new notebooks as they fill up.

This product works exactly as described. Thus is perfect for making notes that are easy to share and save.

If you’re concerned that someone may read your notes without your consent, there’s no better option than Shieldfolio’s Stonebook Notebook. It is a completely offline notebook that enables you to keep your notes on water and tear-resistant sheets. The Ghost Pen (sold separately) prevents you from exposing your information by hiding plain text with special ghost ink. No one can lurk into your notes anymore.
