This is a great notebook, no doubt. It's well-sized, lightweight, papers are easily detachable, and depending on what pen (or pencil) you use to write, the experience is comfortable as well. Honestly, it's perfectly functional for its purpose, which in my case was university class notes and such.
On the other hand, while functional, over the course of my time as a uni student, I've come to favour better quality, more expensive notebooks over this. Why? Because the fact of the matter is that if you want to take GOOD notes, not just passable scrawling notes, you need to have better quality paper. The paper is faded and greyish, and pencils don't write well on this book at all. So for someone like me, who wants to focus on maintaining better notes, this just doesn't cut it. It's too dull and doesn't support pencil notes so basically you're left with subpar ugly notes on ugly pages. Kind of kills your desire to study, doesn't it?
Just a bit of wisdom I've gained from note-taking over the years. I'd invest in something a little better quality if I were you - your study habits will benefit from it.
