Flash drive

Having a few of these and backing up to a main disk lets you keep your entire project in your pocket.

Wifi detector

I recommend Kensington’s Wifi Finder Plus. This handy little device picks up wireless signal, 802.11a/b/g and Bluetooth networks, allowing you to know where you can connect to your campus network.

Book scanner

Having a book scanner can save you so much money in photocopying costs over the course of a year.

Dictaphone

Most university lecturers podcast their lectures nowadays, but for the occasion that they don’t, pop the dictaphone on your desk and allow yourself to listen back to the lectures at a later date.

Noise cancelling headphones

The times you will want to study will automatically be the same time someone wants to throw a party.

Probably not a student… but nevertheless, the picture works.
