depends what ur studying, i personally exclusively use pen and paper because for me notes are just to remember stuff during the lecture anyway and it’s best for memory retention, depends what ur studying though. definitely still need a decent laptop for uni though a lot of stuff is done online these days

yup same, especially when im sitting in a lecture i always use pen and paper (i don't have an ipad tho) because it helps consolidate what's being talked about. most of my subjects have less to memorise compared to something like bio, anatomy, etc though, and all of the notes are online, and i additionally retype my notes. so if you're relying on the notes you take in the lecture maybe an ipad is better for making everything neat the first time around
