5 Apps Every College Student Should Have

1. Quizlet
You might have been able to get away with not studying for a test in high school and making a decent B but that will not work in college. You MUST study to pass. Studying can be done easily with this app. Quizlet allows you to create your own set of study material digitally. This is better than regular handwritten cards because once you create your set you can learn them by taking multiple choice quizzes, go over them as flashcards, play a matching game, or even take a practice test. Quizlet is also great because there is also a chance someone else already uploaded a set that you need to study.


2. Scholly Search
College is expensive. From tuition, room and board, to textbooks it can cost thousands of dollars that you most likely don’t have. This results in you taking out loans that put you in even more debt. Save yourself the hardship and look into scholarships with this app. Using this app is easier and more convenient than looking on a computer or laptop. After creating your profile, Scholly will give you a list of scholarships personalized for you. They also have Scholly editor that can edit your scholarship essays for you to give you the best chance of winning.

3. Simple Habit
Whatever kind of student you are, you likely have a lot on your plate. Whether it is struggling with assignments, navigating friendships, or balancing school and work, it is not unusual to get stressed out from time to time. That’s why it is good to take a small break from everything and breathe with meditation. Simple habit has many guided meditations customized for any situation from taking a study break to going to sleep. You can use this app anywhere to take 5-20 minutes to meditate and accomplish whatever you are hoping to gain from it. Simple habit will help you keep calm among the madness.

4. Circle of Six
Most students are away from home when they come to college. This is likely the first time you have been on your own. With being on your own, you might find yourself in uncomfortable or unsafe situations. With Circle of 6 you can choose 6 people you trust to be notified via text when you need help. Your location will be sent along with a pre-programmed message to notify your 6 trusted friends of the situation. The app also comes with resources such as 24 hour national hotlines and online sexual health resources. Circle of Six was designed specifically for college students to be safe.

5. Your School's app
Every college student should download their university’s app. Most University's have an app that you can download and if yours is one of them, head to the app store right now. We might not think it is useful but 9 times out of 10 it is. Most Universities have a map of the campus, a directory of resources, what's cooking in the caf, and even access to your grades on their app. There are also many more things the app can be helpful with and it's way more convenient than searching through the school website. The bigger the university the more helpful the app should be.
