Depends on your school and depends on the class

Do most students get iPad or surface?

You think a 32 gb iPad is enough

I would talk to an advisor at the school, some require all students to get specific models of either surface or ipad.

iPads and Macbooks everywhere

It's best to ask the students at the school you'll be attending. Some schools already include a computer/tablet in your tuition (like Western includes an iPad). Here are UCLA, we have a variety of iPads, Surfaces, PCs and Macs, and there are some people that do print the slides out and write their notes in. There's not one device for all - what are you comfortable with, how do you usually take notes, etc. I have a touchscreen PC which helps because I can type super fast, but I can also draw on my notes when needed. This brings up another point -- there might be programs that your school uses that may only work on one device and not another (my classmates that have a Mac can't open CBCT files for our projects, iPads don't have our "lockdown browser" program for online tests, etc). Ask the upperclassmen at the school you'll be attending.
