3. Noise-cancelling, wireless headphones

With noise-cancelling headphones, you can play music that helps you focus and study without distractions. When you don your headphones, it is obvious to the people around you that you do not want to be disturbed, without being rude or unfriendly.

4. Wearable tech

This can come in handy when you need reminders on your schedule, tutorial or assignment deadlines. The notifications for email, instant messaging, calendars will be like a personal assistant reminding you of the things you need to accomplish. What’s more? This can double up as a fitness monitor when you hit the on-campus gym or take a run around campus.
