1. Spotify
This is pretty self-explanatory: music is a necessity. With your student email, you can get Spotify Premium for only $5/ Month!
2. Dictionary
A classic, you want to be amping up that vocabulary and be able to edit yourself on the go. You are, after all, a college scholar.
3. Linked-In
College is where you start making professional connections that will help you for the rest of your life- so start connecting!
4. Seven
It's easy to forget about staying healthy when you're trying to keep up with classes, but Seven gives you an intense, full-body work out in only seven minutes so you can squeeze in a workout whenever and whereever.
5. Skype
Don't forget about your folks back home- they miss you! Make sure to video chat your family and friends at least once a week.
6. Toga
If you ever find yourself sitting home on a Friday night, look no further than Toga- an app made for college students that lists all the fun events and parties going on A.T.M.
7. Venmo
Venmo makes paying your friends back SO easy- so close up those tabs and don't be known as the friend who never pays back!
8. Snapchat
Snapchat is one of the best ways to stay in touch with your friends in college as you can add a friend with the tap of a code, message your buddies, and see what they're doing on their story (and if the party they're at is "lit" enough to grace with your presence).
9. Instagram
If you're a big social media junkie like me, Instagram is just a no-brainer to have on your phone! Whether you're sharing your own memories or watching DIY/ tutorial videos, you can make great use of this popular app.
10. Scanner For Me
Since scanning is a pain, Scanner For Me uses your iPhone camera to capture some pretty quality scans that are uploaded directly to your camera roll and can easily be shared.
11. Uber/Lyft
Because not every city has a public transportation system like New York City...
12. GroupMe
Especially if you're involved in extracurriculars, GroupMe is the best group chat app on the app store to keep you up-to-date on all your involvements on campus.
13. SoundCloud
Support your local musicians/ artists! SoundCloud is full of hidden gems where you might just find your new favorite song.
14. House Party
Contrary to popular belief, House Party does not inform you of House Parties. It is a social video chat app where all your friends from back home can hop in the same chat room and video chat with up to 8 friends at once!
15. Google Docs
Important! Do your homework on your phone, tablet, laptop, library computer, in Starbucks, during class, from Target, and have it all synced.
16. BlackBoard
If your college uses BlackBoard to upload documents and readings, there's an app for it! We all know we're more likely to do our work if it's conveniently on our phone.
17. School App
Most schools have an iPhone app specific to the university where you can find maps, health information, library links, your schedule, security, and more helpful information. Take advantage of it.
18. UberEats
Sometimes, those dining halls just don't satisfy those midnight munchies, or odd cravings you might be having. Plus, there is a Back-to-School UberEats promo going on right now- check the app for details!
19. Scholly
Because school ain't cheap. Apply to scholarships from the convenience of your phone, and many are no-essay scholarships!
20. VSCO
College gets crazy, stressful, fun, adventurous, and you want to be documenting it all through. Keep those memories stored on VSCO to share with friends and edit your favorite flicks. Plus, you can order prints to show your kids in the future and pretend we lived in an age where not everything is digital.
Happy Downloading!
