Starting university can be a stressful experience, especially as many students are leaving home for their first time. To add to that, if it’s your first year, you never know what you need to buy or take with you.

That’s why I decided to share my top five tech items I had when I was at university. Not only that, but I will be sharing my opinion about them from the point of view of a student and an ex-university IT staff.

Whether you’re starting university for the first time, or you are a returning student, I encourage you to read on as I will be sharing tips and advice throughout the entire article.

So, without any further ado, here are five essential tech items for university in 2024…

1. A Laptop

I wanted to start this list with a laptop. I know that this may sound like an obvious item, but I wanted to share some tips about the laptop you take to university with you.

This may sound strange, especially coming from a Mac guy, but I recommend getting a Windows laptop. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that unless your course specifically states that you will be using a Mac, you will likely be using Windows.
