The buzz around high school graduation is over, and now the buzz is about following your new college football team, connecting with the people you met at orientation, and shopping for things you need for college. You’ve already purchased some gear in your school colors, saved some money on those college textbooks, and packed plenty of pictures and memorabilia from home. Now here are some devices and accessories for your dorm room that will help you hit the books, keep you organized and more.
The perfect smartphone and tablet for college
Smartphones are ideal for not only keeping in touch with your family back home but also for managing your new busy schedule. The Pantech Perception™ is the perfect smartphone for college students, because it can help you juggle classes, assignments and a social life. Plus it has an awesome touch-free feature and you can stock it up with some awesome apps to help with your course load.
A tablet should also be a staple in any college dorm room. Tablets help college students take notes, complete assignments and stay in touch with the folks back home. The Samsung Galaxy Note® 10.1 is the perfect addition to your list of things you need for college.
Must-have accessories to ace your classes
Dorm rooms are tiny, and instead of buying tons of clunky gear—the computer, the printer, the scanner, the GPS—you can now consolidate these dorm room essentials with Verizon Wireless mobile technology.
The ION Air Copy, for instance, is a small wireless scanner that’s perfect for scanning assignments. Meanwhile, the hands-free LG TONE+™ Bluetooth® Stereo Headset lets you listen to music as you cross campus throughout the day. It also has a built-in mic, so you can answer calls and use voice-activated dialing as well as text to speech—which can be especially handy when your hands are already full.
For hard-working students on the go, a personal mobile hotspot is essential for venturing off campus. The Verizon Jetpack® 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MHS291L will keep up to 10 devices connected—great for studying in the park or doing group projects at the local café. Having a hard time finding the park, café and other new local spots? Nab a Windshield Mount for your phone or navigation to help you get to where you want to go.
Take a break from the books
We know you know that college isn’t just about studying. There’s a lot of fun to be had as well, from socializing with fellow dorm dwellers to campus events and sports. With the latest gear, your dorm room will turn into the coolest spot on campus. The MOGA™ Pro Game Controller is ideal for playing your favorite video games—both with your new friends at college and your old friends from high school.
When it’s time to unwind from class and relax with friends, listen to music with the Jawbone® BIG JAMBOX™ Bluetooth® Speaker. It’ll deliver the tunes so clear that you might think you’re at a concert. Just be careful not to turn your music up too much after quiet hours!
Don’t let your health take a backseat when you’re having all this fun! Be sure to equip yourself with the Fitbit Zip Wireless Activity Tracker and the Fitbit Aria™ Wi-Fi Smart Scale to help you ward off the dreaded Freshman 15.
Staying comfortable and connected when you’re away at college is important, and with Verizon Wireless mobile technology, you’ll be sure to get straight A’s—from your professors and your new friends.
