Top Essential Gadgets For College Students

2019-12-10 by 404TS Team

College students have a lot of things to do on any given day. They’re working on their classwork, assignments, social life, tests, projects, and personal hobbies. They probably have some of the busiest lives out there. So when you’re picking gifts for them, it is best to find things that help to make their busy lives easier, or at least a little more enjoyable. With such fast-paced lifestyles, there are some tech gadgets that work better than others. Here are the top essential gadgets that all college students should have. Feel free to buy them for yourself or gift them to a college student you know. 

 

 

Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

One of the givens in just about every college environment is the noise. College students work in very noisy environments, whether it’s at the cafeteria at their school or in the dormitories where they have shared housing. In such scenarios, anything that blocks out the noise and gives even a semblance of tranquility will be more than welcome. 

That’s why noise cancelling headphones are a boon to college students. They shut off the noise and allow the student to focus on what they’re doing. While you’re at it, get them headphones with intuitive touch controls so they can control playback without thinking too hard for it. They should also be able to switch back and forth between noise canceling mode and attention mode so that they can tune back in when they want to know what’s going on in their environment or when they’re talking to someone. 

A Writing Service

Assignments, essays, and research projects are staples in college, and students probably get a lot more of these than they would rather have. The thing is, however, that writing all of these is a skill in and of itself separate from the actual content of the essay or research project. 

Many students, while brilliant, sometimes struggle with how to write a report type assignment. Knowing how to write an assignment can help them advance their grade far ahead of what it already is. 

This is where an online assignment writing service comes in. With the right service, students can get different research papers and essays and study them to not only learn about different subjects but also to learn about how to write such papers. Whether you want to learn how to write an entire report or simply how to write an introduction for an assignment, a writing service will help you get there in no time. 

Meanwhile, if you would like to practise some of your own writing, consider getting writing apps that you can use on your phone.

A Subscription to Audible

While books are the holy grail of academic success in college, students won’t always have the time to sit down and read their books. Sometimes it helps to sneak in some book time whenever they can, even if it’s on their morning run. 

Audio books really help in this area. All you need is to plug in your headphones and now you can read your academic books as well as your favorite non-academic books when you’re out for a run or in the gym. Audible is a great subscription service that allows you to listen to your favourite audiobooks while you’re on the move. If you’re a college student looking for ways to make more reading time, or you know a college student who is in desperate need of a project like this, then an Audible subscription is precisely the silver bullet they need. 

A Bladeless Fan

If we’re being entirely honest, dorm rooms and many other spaces within colleges aren’t the best air conditioned. In such places where many students are crammed together, each trying to do their own thing, it can get pretty stuffy and uncomfortable. Nothing would be better than having a fan that takes the discomfort away and makes things comfortable enough for you to be able to focus on your studies. 

A bladeless fan is a pretty good option in this case. The very best are only just large enough to fan you but also not so large that they’re a nuisance to your friends. Also, the fact that they’re bladeless means that they won’t make that annoying noise that we’ve all come to fondly hate in regular fans. 

Karaoke Microphone

Not every tech gadget has to be purely about work. Some of them should be for pure entertainment purposes. One of these is a Bluetooth karaoke microphone. You can easily plug such a microphone into your phone or laptop and hook it up with a whole host of karaoke apps that can be downloaded for free from the PlayStore and AppStore on Google and iOS respectively.

Any college student who loves to sing, whether in the open or in the shower, will appreciate this microphone. It certainly does its fair share of making college life easier. 

Conclusion

These are just some of the gadgets that college students could make crazy use of. The whole objective is to make college life just that much easier to bear. With some of these gadgets, you can entertain yourself while you try to make sense of the quagmire that is college academic life. With others, you get entertained and get a break for a while. Either way, life becomes a little easier!
