Student life can be tough. You\u2019ve not only got to worry about university and getting the grades for your degree, but you\u2019re probably living away from home for the first time as an independent adult, which means you\u2019re now responsible for a lot more things. Fortunately, technology is on hand to help and there are some great apps to help you sail through student life. Here are 7 of our favourite apps we think will be useful while at uni…<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Dropbox<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

Whether it\u2019s lost, stolen or you spill a drink over it, there\u2019s nothing worse than your computer or laptop being gone forever \u2013 especially when all of your work is saved on it! The last thing you want to be doing is re-writing assignments, that\u2019s why it\u2019s a good idea to save all of your documents, photos and work elsewhere as a backup for these unfortunate occasions. Dropbox allows you to store and access your files across all of your devices at any time.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Evernote<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

Evernote is your one-stop shop when it comes to being organised as a student. If you\u2019re in a lecture, capture all of your notes in one place. If you\u2019ve got assignments and deadlines approaching, create a check list to ensure nothing is missed or forgotten. And if you\u2019re working with others, effortlessly share your notes and ideas with one another.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> CityMapper<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re a student living in London, then having CityMapper on your mobile is a must; it\u2019s the ultimate transport app. No matter where you\u2019re going, tap it in and CityMapper will let you know the public transport options available, routes, estimated times and even the price. If you fancy walking, it\u2019ll even map out the quickest and driest routes too! For students outside of London, you can download other mapping apps such as Google Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Strava<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re out and about being active, why not track your activity? See how far you\u2019ve walked, ran, swam, cycled and much more all at a touch of a button. Connect with friends and other athletes, map out new routes and challenge yourself by striving to beat your personal bests. It\u2019s a great way to stay active and competitive while at uni.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> BBC Good Food<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

Living away from home, means you might be cooking meals for yourself regularly for the first time. Which means some recipes to refer back to might come in use. And on the BBC Good Food apps, you won\u2019t be short of a recipe or two. With delicious dinners, tasty snacks and sweet treats to choose from, the question is, what to cook first?<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Just Eat<\/strong>
\n<\/a><\/h4>\n

For those nights you don\u2019t fancy cooking or want a takeaway with your friends, have the Just Eat app at the ready and order your favourite meal in an instant. Whether it\u2019s Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican or Lebanese (and the list goes on), find all available restaurants that deliver in your area and once you\u2019ve ordered, you\u2019ll be able to follow the progress of your order to see how far away your food is.<\/p>\n

7. Banking Apps<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Whether you bank with Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds or other high street banks, most banks provide an app so you can stay on top of your finances. The apps make it quick and easy to manage your bank accounts and money. You can check your balance before a night out so you know how much money you have available to spend, transfer money between accounts, pay your bills and even locate the nearest ATM to you, all from your mobile phone.<\/p>\n
