Studying in a foreign country is an exciting adventure. New people, different language, new places and you will encounter new things. The process of adjusting might not be easy but there are mobile applications that can make your everyday life as an international student a little bit more comfortable.

Keeper Password Manager
How many times do you forget what your password is or can’t remember which password is for what account? With heaps of accounts that you have and will create, it is very likely that you will forget at least one – except if you use the same password for everything which is not very safe. Keeper is like a vault for all your passwords for apps and website accounts that you use.
There are also apps that can be very useful for when you really want to be productive and improve study habits.
CamScanner
This application converts your phone into a portable scanner that allows you to scan your document or notes and turn them into PDF file. CamScanner will automatically enhance the photo to make it clearer which is convenient when you really need to send that document as soon as possible.
Microsoft OneNote
Google Drive / Dropbox / OneDrive
These apps will save you from the nightmare of losing your important files or even your assessment! Backing up your files in a USB flash drive is good, but what if you lose it? Storing your files in a cloud storage is more convenient and lesser risk of losing them. You can even create a shared folder for your group project where all your groupmates can update.
Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive are included with your Kent account, just use your Kent Student email address to log in!

Google Translate
Whether you just got in Australia or even if you speak English quite well, forgetting some phrases or translations of words is likely to happen. Google Translate can help you with basic translations. This would also help you increase your vocabulary for unfamiliar words.
These are just few apps that can be very useful for international students. There are still thousands of apps that can be downloaded based on your needs.
