Website For Students
limite Sessions 25,000
Hey guys. So today I thought I would make a list of different useful websites that I think every student should know about, and this list will include websites on how to find deals on textbooks, solve math problems, and lots of other things. And it's by no means an exhaustive list, and we'll have websites on this channel in the future, but it's a good start, so let's dive right in.
Stack Exchange is a gigantic collection of question question-and-answers, so if you need help on any particular subject, there's probably a community for you there.
If you need a resource for your math homework, wolfram Alpha is what should I call it. National knowledge engine that can step up how to solve math problems. Some of the features require a pro subscription, which costs about 375 a month, though, so if you're looking for a free option, while it's a little less convenient, gamma Simpy. org will do many of the same things for free.
Student Rate is a website that can help you find student discounts on all sorts of things, including travel, tech, school clothes, and textbooks.
CHEGS is a website where you can rent or buy textbooks, which can save you hundreds of dollars off the bookstore prices, and they also have electronic versions that you can use while you're waiting for your books to ship. In addition, they also have apps with homework answers and a community of tutors if you need extra help. My friends and I saved a ton of money in college using CHEGS, so they're one of my favourite student-focused websites.
Sleepytime Me and I Guess That's How You pronounce It is a website that can help you calculate when you should go to bed if you're looking to get up at a certain time. It uses the science of REM cycles to calculate when you should go to sleep and also factors in the average amount of time it takes a person to fall asleep once they get into bed.
If you want to build strong habits or break bad ones, then Habitica is probably my favourite tool for doing so. It used to be called Habit RPG, and I have an entire review on my channel. They just changed their name recently, but they're just as good as they used to be and they keep getting better.
There are a lot of to-do managers out there, but to do it is probably my favourite just because it has a very clean, simple interface and syncs between all my apps as the Todo managers. There are also tough tons of calendar apps out there, but for me, Google Calendar has been the mainstay since I started college and I still use it today. Their smartphone apps have gotten really good, it's still absolutely free, and it syncs between every single system you could have.
Dropbox is a service that keeps all your files synced and updated across all your different platforms. They are accessible from the browser and your mobile apps. Gone are the days of using a flash drive to transfer files from one computer to the other, and I honestly think you should use some sort of cloud service to make sure your files are backed up. If it's not Dropbox, it could be Google Drive or something else, but use one.
If you want to learn new skills, especially computer skills or specific computer software, then Linda.com is an amazing resource.
They offer courses on pretty much every programming language, computer software you could think of, and lots of other things, and it's possible that your school already subscribes to it, so see if it does and you might have free access.
If you want to track your spending, set budgets, and have an overall picture of your financial situation, then Mint.com is my favourite resource for doing that. Rate my Professors is an awesome resource you should probably hit up anytime you're signing up for classes. While I definitely wouldn't advise taking every word written there as the golden truth, it has steered me towards amazing professors in the past.
Koga is an awesome mind mapping tool that lives in your browser and is completely free. So if you don't want to use paper but you do need to make a mind map, which I've done in the past, it's a cool option.
Trello is, in my opinion, one of the best apps out there for managing group projects. It utilizes the Japanese project management technique called Kanban, and basically, it allows you to manage things between lists and different boards. Super easy. You can add people in, collaborate, assign people to tasks, add due dates, and well, I could probably gush about this site for hours. You might not have expected this one, but your university website is one of the most useful websites you'll use as a student.
I'm using my school's website as an example here, but your website probably has class catalogues with descriptions of all the classes, a financial aid website with potential scholarship listings, and a semester calendar with all the important dates that you should put on your calendar, university events, and potentially even a job board where you can find part-time jobs, internship opportunities, or freelance opportunities Kitten is an awesome tool my friend Gretchen told me about, which can help you write when you have writer's block. For every 100 words you write, you'll get a new cat picture, and I challenge you to name anything more motivating than cat pictures. It can't be done.
Cheatography is a website that aggregates cheat sheets from around the web on pretty much any subject. So if you're learning, say, calculus, then you can search that on the website and you'll probably find a cheat sheet that condenses a lot of the most important information, and you can use that to help make your study guides.
BibMe is a website that can help you generate eight citations for basically any source you use in a research project. It can save you a ton of time in creating a bibliography, and the nice thing about this one, in particular, is they have a database full of sources you can search through. If you find the source you're looking for, it can automatically fill out the citation for you instead of making you fill it all in manually.
Anki Web is the web companion to Anki, which is a spaced repetition software that can help you study things more efficiently than you can on regular paper flashcards. And lastly, if you want to do any sort of DIY project in your apartment or dorm, then Instructables.com is an amazing resource. If you want to build a hanging desk or hanging loft bed, I've put tutorials on my own up there and there are lots of other more practical things there as well. All right, so that is my list. Hopefully, you find at least one of the websites on this list useful. And if you found this blog useful follow us.
