Your mileage clearly varies, but I'm pretty jealous of the "tablet student". I was pretty organized when I went to college (graduated in 03', for reference), but having textbooks/calendar/binder/to-do lists/word-processor/calculator in one device seems like a huge boon over trudging around with a backpack and needing to organize return trips to my dorm to write papers, pick up books, or any of the aforementioned items if I forgot them. Every trip to campus or return trip home required a massive checklist. In short, I think they can spend a lot more time learning and a lot less time keeping stacks of paper organized. Also, I would have loved to have multimedia/recorded lectures for certain subjects. I've become an audiobook addict and I definitely would have re-listened to critical lectures if I had the opportunity.
