iPad Storage

Hey y'all...

Looking for thoughts and opinions on iPad storage. I'd like to invest in one to have alongside my MacBook for nursing school - I'm drawn to the fact that it's lighter, I can use an Apple pencil to take notes, and it has the split screen option as well. If I only plan to download 5 apps maximum and use Apple Music (no pictures), but will be storing a fair amount of documents on the device, what storage option should I purchase?

I'm thinking the 32GB might be okay (I'm a broke college student who'd rather not dish out the extra $100 if I don't have to). However, I also don't want to have to rely on iCloud storage either. Does it make more sense to go for the 128GB model?

In summary:

-I'll be using: Apple Music, storing documents, downloading 4 or 5 apps

-I don't need: space for any photos, movies, or space for gaming

I'd love to hear anyone's opinion or past experience! THANK YOU!!
