edit: I'll admit, I didn't read any of your rambling post at first. Just saw the title and thought, "Geez, another iPad for college thread???" Little did I know it was worse than that... I read your post, and it could be boiled down into a simple "Wifi or 3G???" thread. Try reading the posts from 1000s of others before just creating a new thread.
 
I appreciate the effort, but most of the threads discuss using an iPad instead of a MacBook in general. That is not my plan - of course I'll use my MBP to write papers and do job-related stuff. My question is whether the way I'll use my iPad is feasible and if it's fine getting the WiFi-only iPad if I use the MyWi app (i.e. creating a WiFi hotspot) on my iPhone.

Fine... you seem unable to click the little search button on the top of the forums page, so I'll hold your hand and do it for you. Here you go.
 
For your usage it sounds like the wi-fi version should be enough.
 
Alright, whatever. I'll go through the 422 threads about using the iPad at college and the 776 threads about MyWi and try to extract the information I need. Thanks guys, I appreciate the effort and the kind words :rolleyes:
