A Smart phone or a laptop to study on the go

[jsd]

I'm only 3 classes in to my WGU degree, and I'm not taking any general ed stuff there, so your mileage may vary, but...

WGU uses a lot of third party resources for their courses, some of them have great smartphone apps or compatible websites, some of them are absolute garbage on phones/tablets or not compatible at all. If money isn't an issue, a laptop (or cheaper netbook) would be a better way to go, maybe using your phone as a hotspot for Internet access when necessary.

You could probably get by with just your phone, but some resources you'd have to save for when you're at your computer.
