It's that time of year again, summer is winding down and students prepare to head back to school. That also means it's time to take a look at apps to make your student life that bit easier. It's quite fitting for me this year as I am planning to return to university to finish off my degree. I'll certainly be making use of these apps during that time. Without further chit-chat, let's get through the list of apps.
OfCourse!
We took a look at this app last year, almost a year ago actually. OfCourse! let's you organize your schedule, grades, attendance and more using just one app. You get started by setting your term dates and then go ahead a fill in your timetable for that term. The app syncs with the BlackBerry 10 calendar so you can see your agenda via the Hub. You can add any assignments you need to do with due date, this integrates with the Remember app and you can tick them off the list as you go. The great thing about OfCourse! is that it is also free, you can't beat that.

Evernote
Evernote is a great app for taking notes, more so because it syncs with any other device that has Evernote installed. So, take notes with your BlackBerry device in class, then you can continue working on it or look over it on your computer when you get home. You can also create notebooks, so you could separate each of your subject's notes. On BlackBerry 10, there is a standalone Evernote app or you can just have it integrate with the Remember app by signing into Evernote via Accounts.

MyAccountant
It's not easy being a student and trying to make ends meet. You're going to be living on a budget and to do that you'll be keeping an eye on those pennies you're spending. A great way to help you keep and eye on your expenses is MyAccountant. You can put your expenses into categories, add dates and can be really organized with all your expenses. It's an app that's been around for a while and comes highly recommended. It may seem overwhelming when your first use it but once get the hang of this, you won't look back.
