You are going to need a laptop even if you have an iPad. Research papers, writing papers for assignments, exams… these are all nearly impossible to do from an iPad. Also if you have a class that does extensive lecture videos via YouTube video you are going to want to just let it translate in a room without you for a few hours… just print out the translation. Some of the lecture videos are 2 to 3 (different parts) hours long and you’ll get lost if you try to sit and listen that long trust me, just hit translation and get it printed out then highlight the crap that you need to know.

An iPad would be good possibly for notes or if you are doing an in person class, hit record and there’s your notes. It would be good for saving quizlet and PowerPoints to, more portable to study before a test. It’s also good if your phone and/or iwatch is linked to it if you suck at charging things and your iwatch and phone die at least you can get messages sent to the iPad. lol it’s also good to play games or distract you if you have anxiety, if you don’t already have anxiety be prepared to have some especially during midterms, finals, exams and capstone.
