Top apps for going back to uni
Back to uni. It can only mean one thing. End of summer and the start of routines.
Here at RateMyPlacement.co.uk, we’ve compiled a list of the top apps that we think are essential to your time at uni, and being RateMyPlacement, of course we have star ratings to guide you.
Top Apps for going back to uni
In no particular order, here are some of the best apps to help up the ante on your university experience…
Unidays
All of the discounts you could ever need – all in one place. Unidays must be your first stop before you ever make a purchase whilst at university. The free cheeseburger at MaccyD’s and 50% off at Spotify are both worth their weight in gold!
My Homework Student planner
My Homework Student Planner is an excellent app that really helps when deadlines start to mount and you need to sort your life out in time for coursework deadlines and exams.
Snapchat
Snapchat is a must-have. How else will you show the rest of the world that you are on a night out and having the best possible time?
Don’t forget to make good use of the filters, they have some excellent ones on there. A slightly lower score than you might expect, purely down to the annoying snaps of the inside of a club that you will undoubtedly watch.
Blackboard
Blackboard is so handy! It lets you see exam and coursework results. It is also very useful for copying up lecture slides if your lecturer goes too fast. Blackboard can be a real lifesaver in lectures, stopping you from falling behind.
Just Eat
Perfect for those late-night homework sessions or post-night out gorging sessions. Just Eat helps to prevent the build-up of thousands upon thousands of takeaway leaflets, helping to keep your hallway clutter-free.
The ability to follow your order is a really cool feature and helps to really manage expectations when hunger settles in.
Uber
Make those trips back from clubs and around the city a lot cheaper, also don’t forget to share your code to get £10 off of your fare.
You can track your Uber driver and see exactly where they are. You know exactly how much the journey will cost and you don’t need to carry any cash on you to pay. Very student-friendly.
Spotify
Become the saviour of pre-drinks, use the Unidays code to get 50% off. We love that you can subscribe to each other’s Spotify playlists. #Throwbackthursday is an absolute winner. You won’t find a better app for your time at uni.
Clearing
Browse all available clearing courses and connect with universities in seconds with University Compare’s Clearing App. Search, Chat or call with a university in minutes and secure that course today.
Hopefully, these apps will set you in good stead for your freshers year. If you have any other suggestions leave a comment at the bottom. We want to hear what you think!
