The Ultimate Student Resource List



Lets face it, being a student isn't always easy. Pressure of exams, assignments and deadlines, combined with the challenges of life in general can make it a very stressful time for many. It makes sense then to make use of whatever (free!) help is available to make your life easier.

With this in mind, a good list of useful resources for students has been compiled by Dustin Wax on Lifehack.org. Under relevant headings such as '10 Free Applications Every Student Needs' or '11 Online Tools Students Should check out', there are a lot of useful links that may go on to play a part in your life as a student. It also has a cool list at the end '30 Pieces of Advice for Students', covering topics such as writing research papers, how to talk to your professors and how to remove waffle from your sentences.
