HEYYY everybody! As you might know, It's my 1-YEAR ETSY shop ANNIVERSARY www.etsy.com/shop/EmilyStudying ! Thank u sm 😄🌼

I love how that note clip was just ✨diabetes✨

Buying ipad air was my best investment I’ve ever made for uni even though it costed my entire lifetime savings (includes accessories). I no longer have to buy papers, no binders that takes 80% of my shelves, takes 30 secs to find notes from like 10 months ago, no need to carry 1 ton textbooks (nor buying one). I won’t have to restock my pens and pencils like I always do in high school. I do EEEVERYTHING on iPad. Since I’m in med school, its a literal life saver for me.

Honestly, each one of us is different in study style.👀 IPAD is NOT going to improve your grades instantly. It's your study consistency, focus and dedication that makes it happen. Study hard everyone. ✨ Edit: I got few comments on this and likes also wow. Also ipad is great for studying.

I just got an iPad to start using for university and, so far, I love it so much. It's super easy to write on and it's perfect for me because I lose papers way to easily and having everything in one place is so, so useful.

Me watching this knowing I cant afford one 👀

Can we talk about how good this girl’s content is?! 😌

im sending this to my parents.... saved me from doing powerpoint about how useful ipad is T_T

A quick tip that I have been using that might help others is to use online to pdf. You can add like 4-6 slides on one page and save space and have things more compact💖

As a recent grad in the STEM field, the iPad Pro was the best purchase I ever made. Made notes and assignments so much better to do. Get the keyboard and apple pencil if you prefer handwriting.

Before having an iPad I was so unorganized and could never really look back at my notes because it was hard to find. With the iPad I can actually find everything 😅

I used an iPad 7th generation for my junior year during Virtual Learning and it really made my life easier. I don’t have a printer so I could just write on PDFs which was amazing. And no more scanning documents!

I love my iPad Air it’s big enough to write and has Touch ID which I love. I wish one note was sorta like the good notes and notability with the pages. An iPad has helped me in my science classes.

Your handwriting is gorgeous 🥺🥺

What a thorough, helpful video. I really appreciate all of the little details, like putting the weights into perspective. Thank you for the top notch content! I personally already know what I'm buying, but I like to watch these videos anyway, since they're always so aesthetic and engaging 🌞

Me: yes I want ipad My purse : I am empty for 5yrs My kidney: don't sell me😭😭😭 Ty for 9 likes

My mom and dad bought me an Ipad and an apple pencil for Christmas last year... I love it. I don't use it that much like I should because I use their computer and my laptop mostly but yeah. I still do notes on paper and stuff, but I've been doing online school for 3 years, and it's so much easier to do that. I love your Videos, Emily!

I also used to have eye-strain but then I just got these blue-light glasses last week and I'm feeling much better now!

Super helpful video, I will get an iPad Pro before my next semester and your videos make me so excited to start making organized notes that make it fun to study! :)

Perfect timing.. I’m wanting to get the new one this Friday!

I got an iPad Pro 2018 fro medical school 2 years ago. I actually am upgrading to the new 2021 iPad Pro. If you’re in medical school it’s a must, either that or a 2-in-one-laptop. In reality, for any university course you need a laptop for work and, especially for online learning, and also a tablet device with handwriting capability. The reason for this is how much work we have to do and the downsides to using paper books and notebooks which Is the WEIGHT and also keeping track of all that paper as it is fairly easy to loose. I know I lost very important notes for exams. It’s an EXPENSIVE buy. I spent 1200 dollars on just the iPad Pro plus about 300 dollars in accessories, however this expense can be maximized by buying 3rd party devices that can connect to multiple devices. I chose not to buy the magic keyboard and mouse but to buy a MUCH CHEAPER multi device Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that I can connect to multiple devices. That way I can use them with both the laptop and iPad. I also buy 3rd party cases which are A LOT cheaper than the ones sold by Apple and also MUCH more protective of the device. In fact the only devices I bought from apple are the iPad and Apple Pencil but everything else is 3rd party as the options for budget friendly great devices are much higher and they work with both the iPad and my windows laptops. That is another tip I would give. Instead of buying the very expensive MacBooks for school, consider windows laptops. Top of the line laptops are half or even less than that of the price of a MacBook and have way better specs and laptops with identical specs to MacBooks are even cheaper. Students WILL need both devices and windows has better budget friendly devices for students. Plus many school systems have problems Inter-phasing with Apple devices because they run on windows, not as much anymore but it is there and it is a consideration, especially when students need to print something as printing from Apple devices tends to be problematic. I admit I got along fine in university with just my laptop but I was also carrying a ton of books and paper which also broke my back whereas now I only carry a small backpack, when I used to go to school in person, that is big enough for my laptop since I still have to use it and my iPad plus mouse, keyboard, mousepad and computer stand. In total my backpack weighs about 17lbs, if I had binders notebooks and textbooks, well first I would be using a rolling bag because not everything fits in the backpack but it would weigh about 45lbs or more. My anatomy textbook in print has over 2000 pages and weighs by itself 9.5lbs

I really like that the video was concentrated on the device and not a talking head, you also did not waste a second but got straight into the content for the video. You made the video interesting and engaging from start to finish. Thank you.

Can we please discuss how good this youtuber’s content and I love that she gives us tips

My iPad Air comes next week and I’m so excited for it to come thank you for your reviews they helped a lot!

One of the biggest setbacks (for me) as a pharmacy student is that my school isn’t compatible with our exam taking software T-T But overall, it’s great to have a small compact device to carry around at rotations as a portable “computer” or a secondary/tertiary window in addition to my dual screens

Your handwriting is so beautiful!

My mom just ordered my iPad and I was worried I wouldn’t use it enough but this video brought up even more good uses for it! Thank you!

Perfect video since the launch of the iPad 2021. So informative. Thanks, Emily and congrats on your 1 year Etsy shop anniversary!

I’ve been debating on updating my iPad for the fall semester so this is really helpful

Like you stated. An iPad is SUCH a versatile tool. Like a phone, an iPad can be taken anywhere just about, you just need a slightly larger bag to take the iPad with you. Or a nice carrying case. Seriously, When you had the multiple choice questions and were just circling them, and the teacher wants them in class the next day, it's super easy to take that and print it off at the college. Print it off of their dime. Not yours. And you are able to do the assignment on the go without having to lug a folder or a bunch of papers. (however, make sure you have your device and pencil charged) and maybe include a battery pack if you will be gone for a long period of time.

I can't get over how neat your handwriting is!!

In the disadvantages, the eye strain isn't much of a problem to me cuz I have a pair of Anti-Glare glasses which protect my eyes, and as you said, im planning on buying the iPad Air, which is much budget friendly and more helpful! Thank You for helping us!!

girl! are those your actual notebooks? the designing is amazing! love love love! and your handwriting is also like a printed font. damn!

I have an ipad (old one) but it's such a shame because I don't fully utilize it for note-taking, instead, I mainly used it for Netflix. I found myself to be more comfortable to write and read notes on paper rather than on screen. I also found myself to memorize better with paper notes. However, with all the Go-Green stuff, I am sure that it's environmentally better to take notes on an ipad as you can save a LOT of papers. I am currently 'training' myself to properly utilise the technology that we have today.

I have been telling myself to buy an iPad for school for a while but this really pushed me to do it!! Super excited to use this thing in school!!

Love your videos Emily!✏ Video Idea: Favorite brush pens + review!

Let’s get Emily to 100k subs!!! She deserves it! Btw, your my favorite KZfaq channel!

Thank you for doing this! I am planning on buying an iPad for college, and you convinced me to do it.

I literally got the iPad Air/pencil/magic keyboard as a gift to myself with my bonus from work!! I’ve become so bored and stressed, mainly got it to draw, write, create, and for media purposes! I love it all !!!

This video was very helpful. I wanted an ipad for high school but decided to wait because our school gives all of the kids chromebooks, i have a smartphone, and I feel like the extra accessories cost would make the ipad way too expensive. The notebooks and binder i have are a special korean type that save lots of space and are light anyways so sticking with paper seems like the best option also because i don’t want to stare at a screen for hours while studying.

I absolutely love your penmanship 💜

This is very informative! Thank you so much ❤️ and good luck with your studies! 🥰

I love how she keeps saying so you don’t feel bad that’s how I know she’s a caring person ❤❤❤

Super excited to watch your videos. I'm requesting from far that do" a day in my life" video.

8:28 Split Screen and Slide Over are great options with the 12.9 version

I want your notes don't care whether i understand them or not. Looking at your notes gives me Dopamine. They are so beeeeeautifullll!

Omg thank you this was so helpful I’m definitely going to get an I pad before I take my summer class!!

this video is so helpful! i’m getting the new ipad when it comes out anyways, but i wanted to know how helpful this would be for school.

i keep going back and forth, of course one con for me is the price. i want to be able to read and annotate textbooks, but when it comes to notes, i prefer to write them out and be able to lay pages next to each other. i'll end up needing my computer for the programs used in class so the extra cost... always makes me hesitate.

I just found you here on KZfaq today and I’m loving your videos! 😍

You're THE BEST Emily, I watched so many of your videos and they help a lot. My ipad pro 11 inch just arrived and I was only able to decide onto it after seeing your videos, especially this one. And I'll probably buy the apple pencil too. Thank you so much.

I'm obsessed🥺

I love your voice, you're like a happy and bright friend type

This is one of the best videos of all!!! It's really helpful!! THANKS!

your handwriting is so perfect o_o wow. i wish i had an ipad when i was a student, this is a great video!

I recently upgraded my iPad to a 8th gen from 6th gen (so I can use my old Apple Pencil) I’ve been using notability and wanting good notes for awhile now It’s amazing - I love how convenient it is I’m planning to use this iPad with a blue tooth keyboard and along with a MacBook Air that gets given by my school next year So I am hoping to utilise both next year, even though I don’t have online school anymore

I’m using my iPad for school for about a year now and it makes things so much easier! The only disadvantage is that you can get distracted quite easily, especially when you have “boring” classes, you definitely need some kind of self discipline. However I don’t regret buying an iPad for school at all and if you have a little more discipline than I do, it’ll only make things easier.

I'm currently a high school student and don't have a need for an iPad. However, when I enter college/university I will most definitely consider an iPad. Thank you so much for this video! ❤

Yeay finally you come back!

I got an iPad for this semester and honestly it was such a game changer for me. Since most of my profs do hand out PowerPoints and Skripts to annotate I’m saving soo much money on printing. And since I’m also mostly taking math and chemistry classes it saves so much paper when I’m doing my homework digitally- like I have a whole binder just filled with homework and exercises just from last semester. Plus it not only is more confident when sharing notes with your friends but also quite helpful to just share the screen of the iPad when working in a group online and you wanna explain the way you solved a certain problem (like we do this such much in my study group for my math classes when we compare our solutions because it’s so helpful to see what some else did to figure out how their idea works or not) But in the end it all comes down to personal preference and not everyone can afford an iPad, but in my opinion it’s definitely worth the investment. Like I’ll be using mine through all my years at university and it will also be quite handy in my job later on. And also if your thinking about buying an iPad: I can recommend to go with the smaller storage sizes because you will save a lot of money. Because pdfs honestly do not take up that much storage and I would probably only consider an iPad with bigger storage if you plan to work with pictures or videos on the iPad a lot. And if storage gets a little short it’s actually cheaper to just buy an external hard drive - which can also be connected to the iPad itself if you get the air or the pro.

Lets not talk about ipad, Ur Handwriting is soooo amazing🥺

I’m getting mine the end of next week. 😁 I’m so excited

I already have an iPad but I'm still here to support the queen 👑

I’m trying to convince my dad to get me one so thank you very much for this video. I would like to ask some questions though… like what app r u using to edit (make notes to) the slides you download, and what’s the other note taking app you have? thank you !!

Omg your handwriting is AMAZING!

You have such pretty hand writing! I love your channel

The new M1 11” iPad Pro is a great value. It’s absolute top of the line everything and will be relevant til at least 2026 so that comes out to $200/year tops for an awesome school and home experience. The laminated, high refresh rate screen on the new pro makes the Apple Pencil feel amazing.

Hello Emily, again happy and satisfied with another superamzing video...... Lots of love to dear Emily 💖

Your penmanship 😫✨

My school district provides us with iPads you get your first iPad mini in 4th grade, then a new regular one that you use from 5th to 8th grade, and then finally you get one in 9th grade which you use up until the end of high school (I do think things changed though because some kindergartners had iPads), however you do have to return them over the summer. We don't have to pay for them unless we damage them. And since they're mainly for school so there are some restrictions and the school version of an App Store. But before Covid hit since the restrictions were built into the WiFi you could do what you'd like on them at home. But now they're built into the iPad itself because of online school. These were originally supposed to be removed by removed by high school but they ended up changing that and keeping the restrictions after a few years because people were misusing them. They're monitored by the school district and they provide us with cases. My currently model is an iPad 5th generation. I *might* update with what iPad we get next year in 9th grade because at the time of writing this I'm in late 8th grade. If you want more info I wrote like an entire essay 😅 My school district provides us with iPads that are monitored by the school district and they're a major part of our school lives, I'm talking if you forget it for one day you're screwed. (I go to a public middle school and at the time of writing this I'm in late 8th grade) For me at least, you got your first iPad in 4th grade, but it was an iPad mini and you weren't allowed to use it during lunch or recess, you would leave it on charge at the school overnight and wouldn't be allowed to bring it home. Although in 5th grade I went to a gifted program with both 4th and 5th graders and my friends in 4th grade also had iPad mini's but were allowed to take them home. From 5th to 8th grade you use the same iPad and upload your stuff to google drive and then clear your storage every year, and from 9th to 12th grade you get a new iPad and then use that and repeat the same process every year. (Meaning I get a new iPad next year! :D) However I remember once in elementary school we went through the kindergarten classroom to get somewhere and all the kindergarteners had iPads. You don't have to pay for them, but if they're damaged then that is 100% on you to pay for the repairs. You keep them throughout the school year and then return them over summer. (Yes you can keep them over smaller breaks like winter, thanksgiving etc.) We have an off brand version of the App Store instead of the actual App Store with only education related apps, so we can't download games and stuff. However in 5th grade because it was our first day with our iPads that we would be using up until 8th grade, there was a trick you could use only upon the first day of getting your new iPad. So I did that trick, downloaded some games, blah blah blah, it was going great up until some time later when some people had to come and watch me delete it because they were aware of the fact that I had downloaded them. When my older sisters were in high school, high schoolers had access to the App Store and could download games or anything in particular they wanted with their new iPads (obviously not anything non school appropriate) but a few years ago they removed that most likely because students were misusing that privilege, I don't really remember the details. Similarly, discussing restrictions, in 5th/half of 6th grade (before covid hit) there were restrictions built into the WiFi so you couldn't goof off during school but when you got home and were connected to your home WiFi you could use the internet with way less restrictions (there were still some for stuff like illegal websites) so you could watch KZfaq or do whatever it is as you please. However because of online school they're now built into the iPad itself. As for accessories all students are provided with 1 of 2 iPad cases and that’s it, although I think some students switched them out for their own cases and nobody really cared as long as the stickers on the back with your student information were visible. I happened to have gotten a few free stylus' from an event once and I use them for my iPad and they are amazing quality and it's pretty surprising considering that they were free. My older sisters are in university currently and one of them has an iPad given to her by the university she goes to and it is monitored as well. (However since the value has gone down they’re removing the monitoring so the iPad is 100% your property). I *might* update this comment when we get our new iPads next year. *I may I have gone a bit overboard yes, but I enjoyed writing this*

im an electrical engineering student and a lot of my professors teach circuit design classes using an iPad. they go really fast and just start copying and pasting their drawn circuits so it’s been really hard for me to catch up with them since i’m trying to draw it over and over again using my pencil and paper. gave up in the end and bought an iPad 😂

I know I'm reply late to this. But you're a really good content creator. I love the way that you do these reviews.

I bought an iPad Pro my senior year. This iPad Pro has been great. I love how I can do digital notes

As a Uni student majoring in Mechanical Engineering and recently the homework problems have gotten long and complex for various engineering classes and I was tired of re-writing/drawing the diagrams and the problems on to regular paper and had a desire to get an iPad to simply copy and paste the problem and do the work directly on it instead so I’ve been looking at the iPad Pro but not sure what size I should (between 11 and 12’9) This is a great video, thank you so much.

Personally, I think iPads are worth it if you learn best handwriting notes, and science has proven handwriting notes is more effective than typing notes. I've used an iPad 8th gen for school for about 6 months now, and it's pretty awesome and I love taking notes without having stationary or worrying about not having enough space on a page. However, if your sole purpose for getting an iPad is taking notes, I wouldn't recommend it since that's not a very good investment :).

Thank you so much! It really helped me,, you explained the ipad functions very well and simple :)

Im a mechanical engineering studying and actually considering getting an ipad. i got tired from taking notes and losing them, also its so hard to carry 3 textbooks, a laptop and charger also the idea of taking notes digitally is amazing. if i can do all of the work in 1 device hell im down amazing video sister keep it up

I bought a refurbished iPad 6th generation at the beginning of my 2nd semester at uni. It was the best investment of the year! Before buying it I thought about saving up more money to buy a newer generation. As far as I know the iPad 6 is the cheapest one which is compatible with an apple pen. I got it short after I bought the iPad and I couldn't be happier with it!! I do recommend to get one with much storage. During the last semester I realised that having 128 GB is necessary! I always take my iPad to uni instead of my MacBook since it's handier in my opinion.

This is JUST what I needed! Thank you so much. I’ve been thinking of getting an iPad for school for like a year now and I feel confident in my decision. I’m going to get the iPad Air 💙

i've been using one this year and i have been loving it. Though i really agree with the different + an - points you gave. This is an honest guide.

Omg !! I was thinking about buying an IPad but I was hesitating, thanks for you video ‘

Most iPads and Apple Pencils you could get second hand like on let go (that’s how I got mine and I love it) but do the research on it and make sure it works before giving people money and if having to pick it up bring a friend with you stay safe 😁😁😁

Hi, thanks for the video, it was nice to learn your experience. I am in a situation where I would want to read books (mostly technical books), I would rank both eye strain and note taking as priority. In that regard, I was initially thinking about Kindle for going easy on my eyes, but you can't take notes with Kindle. I was also thinking about Onyx boox, remarkable 2, etc. but these are quite expensive, not easily available in North America, so it only leaves me with iPad. I wonder what people do to make iPad reading experience comfortable for eyes?

omg emily , i'm your biggest fan and i like your videos sooo sooo much lysm!!!!

Omg! I love your hand writing!!!!! I am having second thoughts buying an ipad air4 vs mini 5ty gen!

There’s a lot of STEM students in the comments but iPads are incredibly popular amongst music students as well. It is literally THE BEST to have all your sheet music on one device instead of heaps of loose sheet music. You can have an entire opera on your iPad, instead of a massive physical score. It’s also super easy to study/make music, Good Notes even has music notation templates. The iPad was seriously the best purchase for studying music in college- you save so much paper, time and back strain! And it will make your life a breeze during auditions or impromptu performances when you have all your music in one place.

Hint: for that heavy software you might need that is not available on iPad, most of the times, you can find a substitute that is a browser adaptation. I know there is one for Photoshop with, pretty much, the same number and quality of features. So you just need to do a little research and you're golden

Great video! Literally answered all my questions

Hiiii!!! I am so excited to watch your videos again!

your voice is so soft and cute. It's just so satisfying to watch your videos. I appreciate your work :)

This video was really helpful !! Except I'm considering a 2 in 1 laptop instead of a separate tablet, so hopefully I can use this video to weigh my decision on that

Thank you for making this video. I've been trying to convince my mom to get me an ipad but I couldn't find the words or time to tell her all of this and you sum it up into one video!

Got mine for school and note taking and holy cow did it completely change the dynamic between how much money i spend on some of these things

i got the ipad air in blue and i’m BEYOND happy with it! it is SO useful for annotating pdfs and working with lots of different worksheets and documents, i love it for multitasking and as a second computer. the hidden costs kinda sucked and i’m still recovering financially lol, but overall i love it and HIGHLY recommend it! Have yet to find a paperlike screen protector that I like but i’m excited to take this to my transfer college where I’ll be forehead deep in MSW work 🥲 thank you for the video

I got my ipad pro 2020 (11 inch) last year for my school work, and it's so easy and good to be paperless during the pandemic and in the future. I use my ipad for my solutions in chemistry and physics, answering my pdf worksheets, and note-taking. It's also a good thing that I bought an ipad before I go to college

I already have an I pad for 2 semesters and I still love watching ipad videos. I CAN NEVER LIVE WITHOUT MY IPAD! I just need my ipad and apple pencil and I’m set for life (legit).

totally not me watching this and cannot even afford an iPad ;) btw your handwriting is really pretty! your video helped! i wanted an iPad so bad before but now i realized that i don't really need it, I have my laptop and Ali Abdaal's Active Recall and Spaced Repetition Spreadsheet :D

I love your set up so much

Just got a new subbb...loved the vid😁

The iPad 8th gen is really good and it has the same chip as the iPad pro 2020 and there is a MASSIVE price difference! So either go for the iPad 8th gen or the iPad air 4!
