University stationery? Prep?

Kill small tree.... How do you afford so much paper and ink, or does uni let you print for free or something?! Or local library..

It's actually not that expensive. A (good) black and white laser printer, maybe $90-$100 from office works. If you buy the ink off eBay, it's about $15 bucks and prints 2600 pages (or so they claim). It's peanuts and very convenient too. The printer comes with a free half ink cartridge as well. So, for $110 (lets say) you can print (apparently) 3900 pages. That works out to be about $0.028 a page, including the cost of the printer, over a lifetime it'll go down as you spread the cost of the machine over more pages too. To print black and white at monash is $0.12 a side, more or less quadruple the price, not to mention the convience.

Unless you're one of those people who never prints anything ever, i'd highly recommend you'd get a cheap laser printer.

You might be the only person - anywhere - who willingly writes with that green ink

That green... There are two types of greens in the 4pen world. The pooy one that looks like diarrhea, the 4pens with just a ball on top (no donut), then there are the donut ones where the green is like the most beautiful green. Comes handy at times where you drawcrastinate (alondouek stole it from me... #copyright2014) so you don't waste the other beneficial colours

I admit, it must be said that drawcrastination (you heard it here first) is a serious issue in tertiary institutions, affecting all from the newest undergraduates to the most seasoned academics.

Just to keep this on-topic; OP, it will probably take you your first year of undergraduate study to find an organisational system that works for you. Just try different things, and see which method you devise will help you keep track of all your stuff (because I can ensure you that being a university student entails the possession of a lot of 'stuff').

Would it be beneficial to buy a bottle of clag for some hefty glueing?

That depends entirely, do you think you'll need to use glue much? I certainly haven't.

For commerce subjects I just staple loose leaf sheets of A4 into their respective week since each week covers a certain topic

For languages I keep a mini A5 folder with my kawaiiasfuck A5 paper and divide it into vocab list and grammar

yup.
