I’m also a student and funnily enough also studying programming, well computer science but I use it a lot mainly for maths and breaking down concepts as well as general note taking and planning. All I can say is it’s been the most invaluable technology purchase I’ve ever made, it helped put me through my higher GCSES and now I’m in university. Obviously I’m not saying it played that big a role but it really helped me. It’s super easy to use as well. I also have the type folio because sometimes in lectures it’s just easier to keep up, and my handwriting isn’t the neatest. It also helps that you can send emails from it directly as long as it’s connected to wifi.
