Soon many will be heading off to college and while you will need sheets and pencils, you will also need your most important tools….gadgets! I have compiled a list of 9 must-have gadgets for heading off to college.

When I headed off to college 20-something years ago, I would never have dreamed of having a computer in my dorm room. I was one of the lucky ones who had a TV, Walkman and electronic typewriter. Even in the days of low tech, I was high-tech.

  • Laptop or netbook are very important nowadays especially to college students because they need it for research and other school assignments.

  • As for me i still see the three (3) logitech devices (gadgets) has the most vital among all the top 9 Gadgets a student should take back to school, well this is probably so with my won opinion because i love Logictech brands and products

  • A mastery of technology and gadgetery is super important if anyone want to excel in the 21st century. And the Logitech is one of my favorite product line especially their brand new Washable Keyboards

  • I seriously wish we had such gadgets in our days of college. This post makes me envy the students of this generation. Thanks for the great share; it will surely help students of today.

  • I think a laptop is the most important gadget, because it has many uses. But that does not mean we should always buy a new one every turn of the semester.

  • Gone are the days when we had to spend numerous hours at the library looking for books to supplement our ability to learn and do schoolwork and when all I had was a walkman to keep me company. These items will make a great addition to an otherwise boring dorm room 🙂 Thanks!

  • Great suggestions! It’s surprising to see how our needs have evolved over time, when I was in college I had nothing more than a typewriter in my room and volumes of bulky encyclopedias to refer to when working on my assignments 🙂

  • Like all of the gadgets especially the wireless speakers and the headphones, that is probably because I’m always listening to music no matter what I’m doing. I think you need to include a good coffee maker, microwave or fridge too, to round out the dorm gadget needs.

  • These are some great accessories! I am sending my son a Nexus 7 tablet to help with school as well as to provide a little entertainment. I think I may look into sending along that Logitec tablet speaker or that Homedics Jam Blackberry. I will have to go test them out after I get off from work at DISH, tomorrow. He should be good on the other stuff, especially that HD Hub thing. I have already downloaded the DISH Remote Access app so he can access our Hopper for live streaming TV or to stream shows and movies from the DVR. Now that I think about it, I should probably include some apps for productivity too; he is kind of lazy.

  • I ad them all, except the WD TV hub, it must be such a great tool, I think I’m going to give it a try and purchase it! By the way, collage dorms have got a very good internet connection, much faster than the private ones, so it is really worth to use this gear, you can watch and stream movies in 1080p as well.
