The iPad is available in two sizes: the original, which has a 9.7" display, and the iPad mini, which has a 7.9" display. Although the larger model is available with a high resolution Retina display, both iPads have the same effective screen resolution. The Retina display simply doubles the pixel density to provide sharper text and images, but does not change the amount of area available on screen. There are other differences between the two models as well, such as the speed of the processor and the quality of the camera.The same software is available for both models, however due to some differences in processor speed and camera some apps may not work on both models.
Which iPad is right for a college student really comes down to personal preference. The iPad mini is much more compact and more comfortable for reading eBooks. However the larger screen and form factor might be preferable for those who are using the iPad in place of a laptop. Keyboard accessories are available for both models for those who prefer to feel the click of keys.


It's also worth mentioning that some college classes require specific software which may not be available for the iPad or mobile devices. It is important to check the class requirements.
