\n\t\t\t\tFrom health & fitness to cooking, from studying to entertainment, there\u2019s an app for every aspect of student life. With hundreds to choose from, it\u2019s easier than ever to use technology to enhance your student experience. Here\u2019s a handful of my favourite apps for university life\u2026<\/p>\n\n
iBU<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a useful Bournemouth University specific app. Simply download and log on using your university username and password for access to a range of helpful information such as your class timetable, bus times, sport information, and access to the library catalogue.<\/p>\n BBC iPlayer Radio\/ Podcasts by Apple<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The walk or bus ride to uni in the mornings is the perfect opportunity to plug into your own personal listening bubble and catch up on audio documentaries, features, discussion, or comedy shows. As a media student it\u2019s important for me to stay up to date with current affairs, and you can always gain a new perspective on an area of study by listening to a relevant program.<\/p>\n JSTOR<\/strong><\/p>\n As a Bournemouth University Student you\u2019re automatically able to access JSTOR, the online database for academic articles. The JSTOR app gives you quick mobile access to a whole world of academic debate and discussion across a wide range of subjects, and you know that anything you read is from a credible academic source and suitable to reference in assignments.<\/p>\n One Second a Day<\/strong><\/p>\n This inexpensive app allows you to easily put together a montage of daily one second video clips. Simply take a video each day and eventually you end up with a personalised film of your month or year or however long you want. This is the ideal app for capturing those student memories, and a great way to document your time at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n Drop Box<\/strong><\/p>\n Keeping your work backed up is essential, especially when you\u2019re working to deadlines and you\u2019re editing documents on both your laptop and uni computers. Drop Box acts as online storage, letting you access your work wherever you have internet connection; a great app to help you avoid unnecessary stress.<\/p>\n BigOven<\/strong><\/p>\n Managing your diet as a student can be really challenging. Thinking of what to eat when and what ingredients you\u2019ll need can sometimes seem a bit overwhelming. This handy free app allows you to explore hundreds of recipes and ingredients lists. You can put in what you\u2019ve got leftover in the cupboards for specific meal ideas, and save your favourite recipes in a personalised list.<\/p>\n Nike+ Running<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s all too easy to let your exercise regime slide at university. This helpful app logs your personal statistics, lets you know the weather conditions, and provides support and encouragement to spur you on. Keeping track of your progress is a great way to keep up your motivation for essential exercise during your studies and all the benefits that come with it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Duo Lingo<\/strong><\/p>\n Bournemouth is a fantastically diverse environment. With students from all over the world sharing your classrooms and accommodation, it\u2019s a great excuse to brush up on your linguistic skills. Duo lingo will help with foreign language vocabulary and grammar, so you can connect with new friends in their own language.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Snap Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n Although Facebook acts as our online photo album, nothing beats real prints. Decorating your room with photos makes it feel like home, and with snap fish you can easily choose and order prints of your favourite photos. You can link it up to Facebook and Instagram to easily transfer your favourite snaps from screen to wall at the touch of a button.<\/p>\n By Olivia Beazley\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From health & fitness to cooking, from studying to entertainment, there\u2019s an app for every aspect of student life.
