I'm curious to know if I am the only one who has boxes full of notes and other stuff gathered through my university... I have never, in now 7 years of professional life, look at them, but somehow, I don't want to throw them away.
What have you done with it? I said I would scan them to put them on a DVD someday, but that day hasn't happened yet.
Books are all in my home office though, but the others are burried in a closet somewhere.
I did for years..... eventually threw them out when I moved to my current flat;
I think that my mum kept a lot of our reports and certificates though.... so I guess they are in a box in the attic in wales
I've thrown out all the old stuff from high school level and earlier but have kept all books, notes and papers from my university studies 
Came across them in my mums loft a while back for the first time since i left in 1984.They've still got my (apalling ) attempts to copy Saville artwork and New Order fonts all over the covers .Will have to take some pics/scans of them to give you all a laugh.
I have all my stuff from music college,you never know when you'll will need a bflat score for Blue Bossa, or a reminder on the correct way to do 4 part close harmony.
Don;t think I have much left from highschool, there are limits even to my hording, and the Tardis is a lot smaller than she used to be ;)
Still have all of the books, I'm sure I'm not alone in being annoyed at the end of the term to find that the bookstore wasn't buying back most of what we'd purchased at the first, cause they were gonna be using a different book.
Only kept the best and most entertaining papers, which means some of the stuff from film, drama, sociology, and creative writing.
Still have them. In a huge, very huge metallic case. It weights a lot, need to be two at least to move this. A few years that it has not move from my parents' garage. Well, another room would be needed in my tiny house to keep them with me.
In fact my partner still have hers. It takes a lot of room. I think she's got everything from after primary school to now. Add the fact that she is teacher, I have the feeling to live in a library.

Remember...
Now that you mention it, yeah I do. Who knows why. Kept all the "interesting" texts too....as if I'm going to reference plate techtonics again?

I threw out my undergrad notes and sold the books (god knows why, was I really that hard up back then I had to sell $100 books for $15? 
) I do have all my college papers saved on me computer (currently in possession with my ex 
)
I've taken one semester of graduate level work, and since I will most likely take this career path (counselling/psych. services), I will definately hold onto the notes and books from here on out!
I tend to throw away the notes at some point (sometimes I recycle a notebook for another class if it's not full from the last class I used it for), but generally I keep the books if I can't get rid of them back to the college bookstore, or I happen to like them.
I've kept all the books from one course I took this past spring, if only because a buddy of mine is taking the class in the fall and I don't mind taking his money if he is willing to spend it on these 
I kept all of my important college notes, although I still have stuff at my mother's house dating back to my freshman year of high school. If I looked hard enough, I could probably find the binder I used for biology and French that I had pasted pictures of Smashing Pumpkins all over and then wrote on top of it in ball point pen. The notes are probably absolutely useless to me now, though.
I've still got a book or two if it contained anything of interest but my notes(what few I took) were tossed almost immediatel after the class was finished.
Nothing whatsoever except for a few reports. Left school when I was sixteen and worked ever since.
My mom has some stuff from grade school (I think). I threw out most of my college stuff though I do have a couple of notebooks I thought might actually some in handy in my proffesional life. Ha ha.
Na fuck all from my days as a schoolboy. Have kept all my music books and tutor notes from piano lessons though.
