Unless you plan on being a hairdresser, you'll need something with a full keyboard. Ever seen someone try to write a 15-page research paper on an iPad? It's not a pretty sight....

I agree with the comment above me I have an HP Mini as well, they're around 200 something dollars, my boyfriend got me one for my birthday last year and I love it!! It's very portable and small it does the job I think an HP mini is perfect for any beginning college student.

Well, if you asked "laptop or ipad or galaxy tab", I would answer "laptop" without hesitation; you need a real keyboard to take notes and write papers (yeah, you can get an external keyboard for some tablets, but that's a hassle), also if any of your classes require using software, that software is more likely to run on a laptop than a tablet.

But if you really want a tablet, of those two, I think iPad is the better choice, because it has more apps (though in a year I have a feeling the Android tablets like galaxy tab will have caught up a lot).
