There is a summary viewer if you’re looking for an immediate trip, and a full viewer option that makes planning a breeze. The app also includes real-time delay information as well as an interactive map to plan your trip stop by stop. All of these features are included for free on TripView Lite!

Where To Go? Free

You’ve finally made it to the city of your choice — now what? Where to Go gives you plenty of options to start experiencing the culture. You can find the closest restaurant, clothing store, or historical landmark with just a push of the button. If you’ve already picked a destination, it will display the fastest route to get there. Feeling Spontaneous? With a shake of the phone, Where To Go will give you a random destination in your chosen vicinity. Explore!

Foodspotting Free

One of the best parts of studying abroad is the new food! Foodspotting is a food-lover’s delight. The app searches through all of the closest restaurants to your current location and displays user comments and pictures to help pick the best option. Eat Away!

It’s amazing how easy it is to break the bank when studying away. Don’t fall victim to spending all of your cash too early. This app will allow you to record your expenses by category, food, activities, rest stops, and more. You can link your credit cards directly to the app so it automatically records your spending without any additional effort on your part. Mom and Dad will be so proud.

Anything to ease the adjustment, whether it be a friend, a new backpack, or a pair of shower shoes is much appreciated. But, did you know there’s a wide range of apps out there, built specifically to make college life easier? Check out, and download these apps before setting foot on campus, and you’ll be glad you did:

1. Chegg

The Chegg app for Android is a lifesaver. Its website lets you circumvent the often confusing world of textbook assignments by providing cheap, quick options for renting or buying textbooks on the fly. The Android app goes beyond these options by also offering a library of eTextbooks you can read online, over 2.5 million guided solutions, and quick access to rented textbooks on your device.

2. EasyBib

For anyone writing research papers regularly, EasyBib is your new best friend. Every college student groans at the thought of having to waste time properly citing sources after finishing up a lengthy assignment. EasyBib does the job for you. Simply input the resource’s information, and this tool will produce a properly formatted citation in seconds. The EasyBib app goes even further than the website, letting you scan a book’s barcode to produce a citation with even less effort on your part.

3. Clockwork Tomato

This productivity app is based on the Pomodoro Technique, which suggests that in order to study effectively, students should take a five minute break every 25 minutes, and a 15 minute break after four 25 minute sessions. Clockwork Tomato keeps track of the time, and tells you when you should take these breaks to make sure you are as productive, and efficient as possible.

4. Studious

Finally, a planner that doesn’t add to the weight of your schoolbag! Studious is the all-inclusive planner app that every college student dreams about. It’s easy-to-use, and lets you organize all of your studies by class, homework assignment, and exam. Simply enter in all the information, and it will alert you when you have things due, or important assignments coming up.

5. GrubHub

Lastly, the most important app for college students: GrubHub. GrubHub is a food delivery app that provides a gold mine of places you can order from at any time, day or night. For the college student who’s stuck studying at odd hours, or is just plain sick of dining hall food, GrubHub is the perfect match. You can filter your dining options by food type, location, or restaurant to make sure you satisfy any craving.

Studies Abound!

College can leave you with a tightly-packed schedule, which means you’ll likely forget some of your usual tasks—like charging your phone for a few hours each day. Download PowerPRO so your phone can last as long as possible, even if you forget to charge it once or twice.
