Best Planners for College Students 2024-2025

When looking at the different planners that might work, I believe that a good student planner is the best option. I recommend looking at the ones that are merchandised as an academic or student planner. They usually offer more than just a planner that non-students would find sufficient.

Some are called student organizers and offer plenty of space to keep track of classes, sporting events, parties and work schedules along with the fun stuff. Some even come with a set of stickers that can flag important or fun events that the student won't want to miss when they glance over the month or week.

Many will also have some goal planning if the student wants to start creating goals for their more independent and grown-up life. Most will have room for notes to jot down about anything the student might feel they want to remember or record for future reference.

Older college students might be able to get by with a simple pocket planner because they probably have the scheduling down to a science and won't need as much detail for keeping track of what is going on. It kind of depends on the individual and how easily they can stay organized without writing things down, though I do not recommend this..

They will definitely want a weekly way to record their schedule and most have at least that. Some have daily pages, too. Just look at the different styles and determine what will work the best for you or the student you plan to give a college student planner to.
