College ruled paper is essential for my grandchildren now considering their ages. The paper is of good quality and they have never complained about the quality being inadequate in any fashion.
It's so hard to find filler paper that is a full 8.5 x 11 like regular letter-sized printer paper. I am a homeschooling mom (with students in 6th 8th and 11th grades) and like to see their notebooks orderly. It is so much easier when all their entries projects & essays are the same size. I also like the 400 sheets/pack quality of the paper and great price - since I purchased it on sale. :)
Overall this paper is of decent quality. It takes both graphite and ink well and rarely fades. The main problem is recycled paper does not have the feel and quality of new paper. It is thinner and lacks the durability of virigin paper. There is an almost unnoticable hint of the chemicals used to recycle the paper that lingers in the air after opening the packaging. I would recommend this paper for home school and school note taking use but not for anything of a professional nature.
Every start of the school year I always buy at least ten packs of this paper. Between my two high school sisters and I we generally go through all of them during the school year. They are the same size as a standard sheet of sheet of computer paper 8.5 by 11. This is a necessity for my sisters because their teachers gives a lot of handouts. The same size paper makes it look neater and cleaner. It is also college ruled. There's a lot more lines and they're closer together so I can fit more on a single page of paper.
Staple's college rule paper is the correct size which is the standard 8 1/2" by 11". There are many packaged lined paper that are not the right size usually a little smaller in length and width. I use this paper for my homework usually for essays and math problems. The paper works out great because I get the right amount of work done on each page. The paper also fits into my standard binders well.
