I hate college campuses when they force their way
If there's one thing I hate, it's the trend of college campuses to force stuff down the students' throat.

Don't get me wrong, Tablets are great, I own one myself and it greatly improves my productivity.

BUT - it drives me up the wall when a college says "use THIS product - or else." Plenty of times, I've told them "I've got an equivalent already - can I use that?" Answer: NO. It drives me up the wall. Totally.

This "our way or the highway" attitude is totally uncalled for. If I have an equivalent already, I should be able to use it.
