University Apps
Hi guys, so I’m starting university next week and I’m in full-on prep mode for that (and I’m kinda low key excited to start my first year).
However, I was wondering if any of you have any apps (phone or computer) that you can recommend (preferably free ones, but I’m willing to pay a one time fee if it’s worth it :D).
For those of you stuck in the same boat as me, I figured I’d make a list of some good ones I’ve used for high school and found for uni:
Lost on Campus: this might just be for Australian’s, but it basically has maps of multiple unis and shows room, food, lecture hall, etc. locations - super helpful
Forest (or a free version I found called Flora): super good to help you stop using your phone while studying or to just keep track of how much study you’ve done. Bonus: you get points, allowing you to grow a real tree in a developing country - I used this all throughout high school, it’s amazing
A soft murmur: it’s practically a whitenoise machine, however, you can do rain, thunder, etc. I don’t particularly find that this helps me concentrate, but it helps me feel calm when doing mindless homework tasks
Student discount apps: (some of these might be Australian exclusive) Studentbeans, Student edge, and UNiDAYS
MyHomework: Allows you to store your timetable and keep track of homework and assessments. I used to use this app in the early days of high school (before my high school created a website for students that had our timetables on it). It’s a little more difficult to use for uni, though, because all classes you input occur in the exact same location for each day and time
Alternately to myHomework, I’m now trying out two different apps - Pocket Schedule Planner and My Study Life
Ooh, this one is a bonus (I actually didn’t even think about it), it’s called The Podcast App - Podcasts: it contains a bunch of different free podcasts, ranging from true crime to fitness to cars, it’s my favourite app
