During undergrad, I wrote up all applicable college assignments using LaTeX for ~3 years. I recommend it if you want the ability to skillfully typeset math or if you plan to attend graduate school.

Pros:

- Transcribing from paper often revealed problems with my solutions

- Easy to modify / improve solutions once typeset

- Easier for me and the graders to read (I have bad handwriting)

Cons:

- Steep learning curve (first assignment took me many hours to complete, but provided the template for future assignments)

- Painful to edit sequences of equations if you are explicitly showing your work
