College can be overwhelming for many students. Things like settling into a new environment, meeting new people, and focusing on schoolwork can become a lot on someone’s plate. Collegeboxes, experts in college moving, provides ways to make the college moving experience easier. But what about after you move in? Here we will show you some services that can help you maximize productivity and enjoyment and reduce stress.
1. On Campus
Often, your school will provide you with many services and amenities that many students don’t use; by researching your school, you might find useful things that can help you in school. Most schools have a student support and resources page that can guide you through.
- Tutoring
- Textbooks or tools to rent or borrow
- Productivity and motivation resources
- Counseling/health centers
- Career services
2. Academic
There are a lot of academic support apps or websites that are very helpful for studying, learning more about topics, or helping you in your schoolwork. Here are a few examples:
- Quizlet: great for creating study guides or using other people’s study guides who have already taken a class
- Chegg: get help with your homework or rent textbooks
- Grammarly: AI typing assistant to help you with your writing
- Khan Academy: provides short lessons and practices exercise on most school subjects
- Microsoft Office: most schools will provide free Microsoft 365, but if not, you can get it for just $2.99 per month.
3. Entertainment
Many entertainment services have student discounts that are great for being on a budget and enjoying yourself when you have a break from school.

- Gym Membership: a lot of schools have on campus recreation centers, but staying fit in the gym is always important in college to stay healthy.
- MyFitnessPal App: An app where you can track your fitness goals based on what works for you.
- Campus Counseling Centers: not only physical health is important but mental health as well. Consider looking into your school’s campus consoling and help centers.
5. Transportation and Food Services
- Uber: A great way to get around your city or town for less than owning a vehicle.
- Postmates: It’s important for students to have access to convenient food when busy studying or tired after a long day.
