I agree, normally supplementation is not needed. But...
Another medical student here with a chronic B12 deficiency who is neither vegan nor alcoholic. I also don't have Chron's disease or any other diagnosed autoimmune disease. Some people, for reasons their doctors don't care to figure out, have B12 deficiencies. I know a number of other people who do, too, so maybe it's not common but it can't be that rare. When my numbers get low and someone bothers to say something about it being flagged on a lab, I take B12 injections or pills. But most times, no one cares enough to check my labs. Before MyChart became ubiquitous, for years doctors let low B12 values linger without saying anything or doing anything about it. Now I can inquire on my own when I see abnormal labs. Doctors never really treated it like a big deal, although now that I know a little bit, I'm concerned about why they weren't more concerned. But I say all that to say that I suspect that others' labs have also probably been ignored. So there are probably more people like me than we realize. And I'm guessing we're not all closeted drinkers. It might be defective intrinsic factor or absorption issues that no one's bothered to test. Who knows. Let us do/ be better.
Best of luck to you - in school and deal hunting (hard to do both, ain't it?).
All in all, most people probably don't need a B12 supplement. But I'm just some random guy on SD, so take it with a grain of salt. Or consult your physician.

B12 is hard to absorb so might as well buy the 5000μg tablets to supplement your food.

Your B12 absorption/storage rate is also age related. The older you get the less your body stores causing more people to become deficient (only shows in labs). IOW, assuming a normal healthy diet, the younger you are, the less you really need this.
If you do take OTC B12 supplements, only buy/use the sub-lingual (under your tongue) tablets; forget capsules, etc.
I rarely use these, and I either just self inject or have a RN do it, but whichever method you choose, just don't over do it...
