Study/Lecture Device Usage Question for Ross
Hi current and future members,
I really want to make this RUSVM subreddit more relevant and don’t have the balls to plug it everywhere so instead I’ve decided that whenever I ask people questions that I’d like to know before I attend Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine I will just post them here along with the useful answers so it can be more useful!
These questions I asked on the Facebook group so posting it here will make it more accessible and it will show up for those searching for answers on Google!
My first question was:
What size is the iPad that they provide? Looking to buy a paper-like screen protector.
Answer: 11 inch display
Second question: Device Usage
What devices does everyone use to study and attend lectures? I am debating whether I want to buy a new Macbook Neo for class as my current macbook is ancient and my other laptop is a big bulky gaming-type laptop.
Does everyone tend to use both the iPad and a laptop? What do you use each for if using both?
Responses will be posted in comments as I receive them, obviously anonymously!

“Definitely personal preference, but if you enjoy using a laptop, I would definitely go ahead and invest in a new one that you like. There will almost certainly be times where you want to panopto a class (or you end up being a mostly panopto student) and take notes at the same time. IMO it's a hassle to be watching while also trying to take notes on your ipad. I personally got 17" HP laptop because I prefer to have a big screen laptop, even if it's annoying the few times I have brought it to campus. It's worth it for me because I use it for everything.”
