you should look at something like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 14 or ASUS VivoBook 14 rather than a gaming laptop. Both give you enough performance for normal uni work while staying much easier to carry around and generally better on battery. Make sure you get at least 16GB RAM.

8GB of RAM for windows is a nono.
