Best 7 Study Abroad Apps for International Students

Studying abroad can be an exciting experience for international students. There's a new country to discover, new people to meet, and, of course, a new language to master. However, that doesn't mean you won't face some difficulties along the way. 

Let us walk you through a typical day in the lives of many international students studying abroad; this will help you prepare for any potential roadblocks.

Best 7 Apps for International Students

If you plan to study abroad in the future, these 7 apps are absolutely necessary for you:

1.IDP Live App

The IDP Live app is a one-of-a-kind resource for every international student. It is intended to assist you at every critical moment, from applying to your dream university to the "accepted" phase. Most significantly, it seeks to increase the likelihood of your application being accepted. The IDP Live app allows you to:

• Find and shortlist your preferred study destination, program, and university, based on our profile.
• Get the best recommendations based on your requirements and academic goals.
• Hear from other international students about their study abroad experiences. There is a wealth of useful advice and tips available.
• Get the most up-to-date information and insider tips from the world's leading universities’ experts.
• Submit an application to your preferred university.

2.WeatherBug

I know you have secretly fantasized about going around London or Paris in the rain (with your wonderful new boots, no doubt), but for the most part, knowing the weather and planning around it is highly important. WeatherBug is one of our suggested study abroad applications for this purpose. It’s a great way to see what the weather will be like where you’re going, and it’s completely free.

3.Money Manager

Money Manager app makes personal finance management a piece of cake! With Money Manager's spending tracker and budget planner, you can quickly record personal financial transactions, get expense reports, check daily, weekly, and monthly financial statistics, and manage your assets.

To get more information about the cost of living in Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, or Ireland, use IDP’s cost of living calculator or get in touch with IDP’s counsellors for FREE.

4.Circle of Six

Circle of Six is a life-saving app that allows students to stay secure while also staying connected to their friends. Also, you can see how far they are from your house and ask for help if anything goes wrong! You only need to share the app with six of your closest friends, and you'll never have to wonder if they arrived home safely or not. 

5.XE Currency

Keeping an eye on currency exchange rates can save you money. The XE currency app allows you to change any currency into the currency of your choice. Also, the app is free and provides real-time exchange rates from the US dollar to several different currencies throughout the world.

6.RefMe

Referencing is sometimes despised yet necessary as a part of student life. There are (or should be) a page or two of sources in your bibliography for each article you write. Furthermore, you are frequently asked to credit sources throughout the essay.

It can be a time-consuming and tiresome process, especially if you lose track of your sources, but RefMe app handles most of it for you. Simply picture the barcodes on your books and journals, and the application will keep them for you, referencing them as you like.

7.WiFi Connect

So, when you're busy WhatsApping your family, listening to Spotify, or referring to that all-important book, you'll need Internet access. You might have free data roaming or a local sim card with data included in your package, but chances are you wouldn't give up free Wi-Fi.

Using GPS, the app finds public Wi-Fi hotspots nearby. You can narrow down your search results by location, such as a café or a library. One more thing: you can also save your favorite spots, so you know where to go the next time you need Wi-Fi.

Haven’t decided on your study destination yet?

You can share your thoughts with real experts and get in touch with your IDP counsellor for FREE to help you choose the university and course that’s right for you. Then they will guide you through the paperwork to make it happen to your study dream destination.
