Should I get an iPad for university?


Question Posted Friday September 14 2018, 3:46 pm

Hi,

I'm a current chemistry undergraduate with two years left on his degree, wondering whether or not it would make sense to get the 2018 iPad for the remainder of my degree.

For clarity, this iPad would be used exclusively to download lecture notes and then write on them during the lecture in order to replace receiving physical lecture note and stuffing them into my bag and getting scruffy/lost. Also, my lecturers often ramble/ don't put in enough detail into the typed notes, leading me to try and scribble a lot of text in very small writing. After the lecture, I plan on writing up my lecture notes on physical paper and filing it away.

I own a windows laptop (I can't type notes, they'd have to be written).

I dunno whether these reasons would warrant a £400 purchase so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like it would help you greatly in your studies. Looking at the larger picture, and successfully completing your course with high grades which will help toward your degree, then yes, even if the amount seems hard to come up with now, later you will be glad once working in the field of your choice.

If buying the Ipad will give you better notes and make the lectures more relevant then spend the money and get the IPAD.
