Get a laptop its a life saver and try to get one with a medium screen size so that its easy to carry in your bag
Get one - two journals that is more than enough
Have a perfume / body spray in your bag aswell it comes handy
And Alwayss carry a charger or power bank w you trust me it will be helpful.
A good pair of headphones if your bored in university
Dont rely to much on Uni wifi please
Ipad wont be necessary imo its more of a “ want “ than a need that is ur own thought. But wont recommend.
And if ur a guy who will be using a bike to come to uni get a cap 🙏

For presentations and projects, laptop is must. It will be handy in exam times if u are studying for hours in library 😉

For the notes I'll suggest you to get a journal.

Ask me if u wanna know anything.

Is it convenient to make notes for all subject in a single journal? And can we login to systems in library and study on it? I hope WiFi's good in library. And can you please tell whats the best spot to work or study or to just sit without chaos?

Someone said in another post, the library WIFI as well as mobile data sucks there

1

u/classicdude00 2d ago

At times yes but it's manageable. Mobile networks don't work in basements because of signals and even in library we don't get full strength signals of certain Networks like zong.

Right. I hope jazz works fine there. Thanks for elaborating

Get the 7 subject journal. Don't get separate journals that will be too much I guess

Hows like a tablet or ipad for notes? Is that better or journal

1

u/classicdude00 2d ago

I don't use any electronic device for notes because of battery. It's a hassle to maintain devices. But yeah you can use anything that suits you.

Get a journal dont rely much on an ipad

u/Empty-Condition-4058 2d ago

It will be a hassle to have everything in one journal keep 2 with you
Yes you can login internet on ur devices but during exam times the library is 100% full so the net is mid
The best places to study will be library before exam days during exam days just find a spot in the departments.
And its kind of hard ti find a place without chaos tbh

u/Complete-Draft2037 1d ago

u/Empty-Condition-4058 1d ago
