In regards to the original question... I use my iPad for school daily. I have a couple textbooks I purchased through the app "Kno" and another I purchased for the kindle app. Plus every book I've had to read has been available on iBooks or kindle. That saves a lot of money in the long run, the downside is you can't return the textbooks for cash, but my school updates so quickly that's usually not an option even with real textbooks.
I use pages (both on my macbook and my iPad) for all of my papers. I also use the blackboard app all the time. Not sure if your school uses blackboard but if so, their mobile app is pretty good. Not a full on substitute but it's good.
Other than that, it's just a easy and super portable way to have access to the internet, which is every students best friend and worst enemy.
