This is a bit late, but here goes nothing:
Listen man, steer clear of the iPad in college. It can only do one thing at once, making it a total travesty to a busy college student. In my case, at least, I believe I found the perfect replacement.
Just last month I sold my 4th generation iPad because I found that I wasn't using it at all for my studies and it just sat there collecting dust. After some research online, I decided to get another tablet. This time I wanted one that could actually be useful in my college studies. Enter the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
I bought it refurbished off amazon for a good price, just to test it out and see if it was any good. It didn't take long for the new tablet to just outright replace half my backpack:
Aside from that, the tablet has a very large and beautiful display, making it a very good option for watching movies or Netflix in your downtime. Gaming performance is pretty beast as well. It is without a doubt, a college students best friend, and I highly recommend you at least check it out.
I did, however, end up returning the tablet. Not because I wasn't happy, rather, the opposite. I was so ridiculously pleased with it that I just scrounged up whatever I have left in my allowance account to get the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. It's basically similar to the Note 10.1 in every way except:
These tablets have shown me just how useless an iPad is as a college companion. Steer clear of it. Look at the Note. Best of luck in college!
Looks great, but as a professional drawing tablet I'd say it's poor compared to Microsoft's Surface Pro. While it is definitely heavier than the Note, the Pro is an ultrabook with a full installation of Windows 8.1--which means that it can run everything that a desktop Windows computer can, such as the full Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) as well as mobile apps like Sketchbook Pro.
And the Surface Pro also has a wacom digitizer, plus the pen it comes with even includes a functional eraser.
If you compare the two, the Surface Pro (not Surface Pro 2) is even cheaper on Amazon:
Surface Pro
Galaxy Note Pro
They both make decent drawing tablets, but the Surface Pro is definitely a better option for anyone looking to do professional work.
Galaxy Note Pro 12.2" is probably the closest you can get to the Note phone. Not sure if they're coming out with a new version soon or not.

There's also the Note 10.1 as other users have suggested.
Not helpful for your situation, but I was also looking for a tablet similar to my Note that I could take notes with. Landed up getting a Microsoft Surface 3, and have absolutely loved it.
Ninja edit: the issue with the newer Samsung tablets, such a the galaxy tab you mentioned, is that they don't have an s pen. The Note Pro and the 10.1 do have an s pen. So see if that is important before making a decision.

I am replacing a Nexus 10 that is becoming problematic and slow, requiring a factory reset every few weeks to keep it from becoming too slow to use. I already attempted to solve this cheaply myself with an RCA Maven Pro 12", and the screen is god awful and it's slower in its best state than the Nexus 10 is when it needs a factory reset. Other things about the Maven Pro make it attractive, but it's truly a piece of junk to be avoided.
So, my usage for this tablet will consist of:
Although the screen on the Maven Pro is awful, the size is just incredible. It allows for the device to truly act like a tiny laptop and the media consumption experience is far better than even the 10 inch screen it replaces. Normally, availability of recent versions of android is top of my list of requirements, but at larger screen sizes that tends to just not be possible. The options that I have not already tried in the 12"+ size category that I am aware of are:
What other 12 inch or larger tablets are there that run android? I'm pretty flexible on most parameters, so long as the screen size is 12 inches or larger and doesn't have craptastic viewing angles like the Maven Pro. Hell, if I could pay to have a decent processor and IPS display put in the Maven Pro, I'd do it.
Thanks in advance!
I see refurbished for 1 dollar cheaper than the newegg ebay store. So if your link you posted is in fact "new" I think you found the best deal. Of course.. who knows what deals might pop up in the next 24-48 hours.
Ah, light box & loupe is what I try to use my tablet as. It isn't quite there [I use this one for that purpose] yet so I get to see all kinds of artifacts, be subjected to low-res web-sized jpeg irritation and possibly suffer from the systemic color calibration problems. Maybe in the foreseeable future we'll probably have something that can re-create the light table&loupe&large format transparency experience. Somehow screen size and that it is a tablet rather than a monitor makes a qualitative difference.
Got you covered: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Wi-Fi-Black/dp/B00HWMPSK6
12.2" screen
if you actually need to call someone just carry a fliphone or something
If the only issue with the Galaxy Note phone was the size, then you could get a Galaxy Note tablet
Note there is a 10 and 12 inch.
I have one and love it.
I can heartily recommend my Galaxy Note 10.1, though there are probably much better options now to choose from. Microsoft's Surface for example also features pressure sensitive pens and would let you run Photoshop (if you bought a copy) or the GIMP.
Addendum:
Looks like Samsung has a 12.2 version out now which is far better than my tablet. Right now going for $512 US it looks like. If you have the money, tablets are wonderful day to day things.
