Essential Gadgets for Students Living in a Condo

Wireless Charger

This is the ideal tool for simultaneously charging several gadgets on a single charge.

Wireless chargers that you can use to charge your phones, portable earphones, or even tablet while you're taking notes on online classes or to make sure they're charged before you rush out the door to the lecture hall in the mornings are essential for every college student's life. It's a stylish and understated way to keep your important gadgets charged without being unsightly. No need for those long wires all tangled everywhere, and no need to find multiple outlets for every charger.

Portable Charger or Power Bank

Did you forget to charge your electronics the night before? For anyone who uses their gadgets constantly throughout the day, this student-friendly gadget is essential because it has enough capacity to recharge your device several times.

A power bank is one of the most crucial items for students because the possibility of running out of battery life concerns us so much, especially in cases where our notes, assignments, or research papers are in it.

Using a USB wire or charging cable, this device is a handy gadget that enables you to charge your smartphone wherever you are. You will spend the majority of your time away from your accommodations if you participate in university events and activities and become involved on campus. Thus, you need to plan ahead in these situations to prevent your phone battery from dying—a power battery will save you in this situation. Believe it or not, it is one of the most in-demand gadgets on the market! So if you have friends who are students, this can be a great gift to give that is affordable and practical!

Digital Alarm Clock

This gadget is a must-have for students who struggle to get out of bed after a long day or night of studying or working on assignments.

If you want to avoid missing classes, a heavy-duty alarm clock will ensure that you don't miss that morning session, whether the lesson is being held on campus or on a computer screen. Purchase the best available model so that when it starts to ring, even the heaviest of sleepers cannot fall asleep!

External Hard Drive

Searching for the best technology for students? An external hard drive. It not only helps to safeguard all of your work, but it also clears up essential laptop space.

This may not be one of the best gadgets to have or the perfect gift to give, but it surely is crucial to have a trustworthy backup of your work when you're in college, especially when you start writing your dissertation and lengthy essays. Your university laptop breaking (or getting stolen) and causing you to lose all of your work is the very last thing you want to happen. Imagine being an engineering or architecture student and having your plates of building structures that you worked hard on your laptop gone. What a nightmare! Engineering students need to store their files on an external hard drive as a backup, aside from Google Drive.

Laptop Cooling Pad

In general, it's a good idea to use a cooling laptop pad to protect your expensive and cool gadgets.

A lot of cooling pads are super slim and lightweight, have built-in USB fans, and have kickstands to maintain your computer at an optimal temperature. In addition to improving the overall comfort of your setup, it will raise your laptop closer to eye level and guarantee that it receives adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Additionally, the built-in fans guarantee that your laptop will never overheat—especially when you're conducting critical research or design work.

Nobody has time for laptops that crash in the middle of a lesson or neck aches from staying in front of your laptop in the wrong posture, right?

Noise-cancelling Headphones

A good set of noise-canceling headphones can help you concentrate, whether you're working in your house, condo, or library.

Entering school life is really a social thing until you realize you have an important plate or paper due in a few days. Finding a quiet area can be more difficult than you might imagine, but you'll be able to concentrate better on your tasks if you wear some great noise-canceling headphones. If you don't want to hear noises while you rest or study, it works incredibly well for blocking out the outside world while you walk to class or try to listen to your Zoom lecture in your dorm room or condo while trying to block out the sounds of your noisy neighbors. So activate that noise-canceling feature and play some hyperfocus music to keep you undisturbed with your job. This can even serve as your entertainment while you study!

Smart Coffee Maker

Most college students will agree on this: Coffee is life when you’re in university.

For coffee lovers out there–or those who need caffeine to keep them awake, then this might be a good tech to consider putting in your house or condo unit. If you’re one of those engineering students who "doesn’t know what sleep is", then this is the coolest thing for you! How nice it is to have a good sip of coffee while staying up to do your assignments, right? With a smart coffee maker in your house, you won’t need to order takeout or even go to the nearest coffee shop–just enjoy your own cafe vibe in your own place! Some coffee makers can be activated via Bluetooth, so you can connect your phone, and even if you're in your bedroom, wait a bit, and it'll start brewing. What an amazing thing to have as a gift!

Studying at Condo Made Easy

There are several things that can make your time at college a little bit easier. There are a ton of devices with various features, from the basic to the extremely sophisticated, that can make your condo unit a "smart home", even helping you with your academics.

Of course, most student budgets or funds cannot afford to acquire every item on the list above, and some are not exactly necessities, but if ever someone asks what gift you want, make sure to put these on your wishlist!
