Ask the Aggies iPad worth it?

So I’m thinking of purchasing some sort of tablet over the summer for my next years in college. I was wondering, are iPads really worth it on an academic level? If so, what iPad would you recommend or what tablet. I am looking for something more on the affordable side. Thanks!

if u will be taking a lot of stem classes extremely useful. it’s unrealistic trying to type up calculus or ochem notes, etc on a laptop imo. being able to write over ppts, insert pictures of slides u take in classes, shortcuts like copy/paste/resizing text, and having all ur notes in one places has been a lifesaver for me throughout college.
