7 Best Apps For College Students

Whether you're a senior or an incoming freshman, these are some fresh apps you need to check out right now.

1. Square Cash

Move over Venmo. Square Cash is the way of the future. You can send and receive payments and they show up on your card immediately. No more cashing our out dealing with bank accounts.

2. Tilt

Have you ever tried to plan a crazy adventure, only to have it fall apart because no one wants to actually commit and pay their share? Tilt is like a Kickstarter but only between you and your friends. Plan something awesome, figure out what it’s going to cost, and invite your friends. They can pay through the app, and it only tilts once everyone has paid.

3. MeToo

You’ve heard it before: College is all about trying new things. Turns out most people are pretty freaky, and MeToo is a cool way to see how you fit into the mix.

4. Hotel Tonight

Living with roommates can be awesome, but sometimes you just need to get away for the night. Hotel Tonight shows you seriously discounted rates for popular hotels for tonight only, so it’s perfect for a spontaneous getaway.

5. Bumble

Everyone and their mom has a Tinder now. If you’re a girl it’s full of creeps, and if you’re a guy it’s all fake accounts. Bumble is a new dating app from one of the original founders of Tinder, based on the idea that the girls should message first.

6. DoorDash

Sorry to ruin your excitement, future class of 2020, but dining hall food sucks. And once you’ve had chicken parmesan and cereal for the 20th time, you’re going to be ready to do anything for some real food. DoorDash lets you delivery from any restaurant, which is a lifesaver if you’re stuck in the dorms without a car.

7. Evernote

We felt guilty not including at lease one app that’s actually related to the education that you’re going into a ton of debt for. Evernote keeps track of all your notes across all of your devices, and makes it easy to jot something down to remember later, or help keep you paying attention during a lecture.
