When settling into a new city/country, having the right apps on your phone can make all the difference. While recommendations from others are helpful, not all apps may suit your needs. Here’s a list of key apps that have helped me and I believe will help you streamline your day-to-day life.
LiU App
The LiU App is your virtual guide to university life at Linköping University. From finding classrooms to tracking the campus bus schedule, this app is a must-have for every student. Explore its features and functionalities that enhance your academic journey.
SharePoint
Navigating university life can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to staying updated on course materials, announcements, and vital information. The SharePoint app simplifies this by centralizing essential resources and announcements in one place.
Mecenat
Mecenat serves as a digital student ID and offers a range of advantages beyond what your university ID provides. Here you can find discounts and easy verification.
Östgötatrafiken
Navigating Linköping’s public transportation system is made simple with this. You can check bus schedules, purchase tickets, and benefit of student discounts, ensuring smooth travels across the city.
SJ (Swedish Railways)
Planning trips around Sweden? The SJ app simplifies your travel planning. It allows you to book train tickets, check schedules, and receive real-time updates on your journey. Importantly, while buying tickets there you are able to collect points which you can use later to buy another ticket.
Google Calendar or any Calendar
Stay organized and manage your schedule effectively with a Calendar. Sync your class timetable, assignment deadlines, and extracurricular activities across devices to stay on top of your commitments.
Equipping yourself with the right apps can significantly improve your experience as a student in Linköping. By prioritizing convenience, transportation, university navigation, and academic support, these apps will help you navigate daily life with ease.
Until next time,
