Guide to essential electronic gadgets every college and university student must have

As a first year university student, I can tell you that the only electronic gadgets that you really need are a computer, a printer, and possibly a stereo.

Computers are a necessity when it comes to typing up assignments. In uni, everything must be typed, and regular email access is essential. A Laptop is particularly handy for taking to lectures, but only if you can type as fast as the professor talks. If you can't, then pen and paper works just fine.

Printers are just as essential as the computer. All assignments must be typed up and printed out. I was lucky enough to have a printer that also works as a photocopier and scanner, which I found particularly useful (It was about $70 at Walmart, so it's a cheap essential).

You may need a decent stereo if you are one of those types who need music to study. This is not essential, but it is nice to have.

You should also take a digital camera, for all those nights out with your new friends. Remember the memories and capture them on film.

Apart from that, the best electronic gadget you can have for university is your brain. And that really is the most essential. Make sure it's awake and on the ball at all times.
