I was a fan of Crunchtime and E & E (for certain subjects). I also thought the "Understanding" series was pretty good (as did my cousin). For PR, either buy Crunchtime or use a Nutshell. Don't waste the money on E & E. I thought E & E was most helpful for Con Law II/III (Civil Rights/Liberties & 1st Amendment), Fed Income Tax, and Trusts & Estates. The flashcards are actually nice too for 1st year subjects and Evidence.

I would wait and see how much you understand a class though before you go out and buy stuff. I don't know how it is where you are, but our bookstore wouldn't let us return study aids even if they were never written in/opened at all/etc. After a couple of weeks, go look at the study aids and see what would be most helpful to you before buying. They add up quickly.

adpiucf, aren't you a 1L? Are they teaching you guys PR during 1L? If they aren't, don't go buying study aids for classes that you aren't going to be taking just yet. You never know how things will be and when you'll take a class. For all you know, things will change between now and when you graduate with certain laws and you don't want to be stuck with study aids that won't be helpful.
