Your parents might go on and on and on about how easy students have it these days….
“Back when I was a student, there was no such thing as the Internet, student loans didn’t even exist and 40% certainly wasn’t a pass!”
And while that may well be true, being a student now still isn’t that much of a picnic. It’s probably your first time living independently away from home with no idea what you’re doing, how to cook actual food and wash clothes without destroying everything you own. Plus you’ve got to juggle studying, socialising, napping AND watching Netflix. It’s exhausting.
So to help you out, we’ve created a comprehensive list of websites, apps and services that make student life easier. We’ve tried to cover everything; from websites that help you manage your student loan to where you can find the best student discounts.
However, if you know of a great website that’s not on the list, email us and let us know!
