iPad recommendation uni

I want an iPad that I can use to annotate slides and make notes for uni, and I also wanna use it for digital art and drawing, what would be a good one to use that’s not overly expensive but will last me thru uni
Also when i went to the Apple shop I preferred the size of the smaller iPads, like the mini, but can someone tell me if they are suitable for notes and stuff, despite smaller screen size?

Hello mia66688,
Firstly, what course will you be doing at university?
I haven't used the iPad mini personally (I use the standard model) however, I've seen several people recommend this model as a notetaking and reading device. If the screen size is fine for you, then I don't see the iPad mini being an issue for notetaking. You can always go back to the store and this test out. My (standard) iPad works fine for me when it comes to notetaking and annotation and it has lasted me though university so far.
Have you also considered looking at the iPad Air? It has a better chip, and might be better when it comes to digital art and drawing.
Hope this helps,
