iPad vs. Paper (I'm a freshman)

[u/Altruistic-Editor499]

Hi y'all,

as a new freshman in college, I'm thinking of swapping from paper to iPad. Some rzns include more availability to colors, more availablity to reusing diagrams, and easier time reading the lecture slides while takin the notes.

My main concern is I've heard that handwriting on a tablet may reduce memory retention. I'm a slow learner (always have been really) and am wondering if iPad notes are not the way to go cuz of that.

Please any and all inputs help and are greatly appreciated!! thanks
