Typed notes have never worked for me. In university I used a Surface Pro to take notes with OneNote, which worked decently well - and I could link other resources, search, etc. These days I just use a regular notebook. I've been tempted by eink tablets like Remarkable and Supernote, but haven't really convinced myself it's worthwhile.
Yes - it is true that I sometimes have to thumb through a couple different notebooks to find what I'm looking for, but most of the time it's only my current and maybe last notebook I need to reference.
My issue in college was that my handwriting was garbage when I tried to write quickly, like one would do while taking notes during a lecture. If I zoomed in all the way on One Note on my Surface Pro, the lines of the pencil tool would be heavily smoothed and actually legible. I could also go back during downtime and rearrange text and diagrams, rewrite mistakes cleanly, and erase doodles (or move them).
Suddenly I went from taking horrific notes to taking absolutely amazing notes that I could actually use later. I believe that this contributed a decent amount to my success later on in college.
