University life (and student survival) is a big deal and every student has a different reaction to his or her circumstances (it is a very different story for everyone) making extra money, saving extra money, getting your hands on the hottest new music, sharing your entire personal life with everyone you know, putting together bibliographies and adding the finishing touches on class assignments--life has to be perfect and nowhere is that more apparent than when you're a student in college and (if things aren't perfect our first instinct is to want to shoot ourselves in the head). Here are 50 Free Tools--a list of resources every college student should have (and not only is this the closest thing to free money) it is a list to be savored!

Flash cards have always been a smart solution for learning or recalling to memory important facts. In fact, flash cards are brilliant! No wonder they're often used by teachers for students, parents for kids and shared among students when a grade is on the line--and now you can create your own set of flash cards for less than a pack of gum (free). Flashcardmachine.com is an online flash card maker (no additional software required) that let's you create interactive, visual and audio flash cards so you can study (or help others cram) for upcoming exams, learn new skills or remember facts and because you create them the focus is kept on the points of interest you need to master. You can then share them online with friends or other students and it's easy so you'll always have time to prepare!

As a student, sometimes life can throw you a curveball in the most unfortunate of circumstances like when a heavy term paper is due but you've been waiting all night in a hospital waiting room for a friend who drank herself into a coma and you had to come down to the emergency room to see for yourself because the message ran out on your voicemail (yeah, try describing that to an English professor zeroing in on a late paper). With the clock ticking, instead of using a line any meathead could come up with rush over to Antistudy.com, a free database where you can get some good information. It's free and you can find cliff notes and book summaries--which makes it easy to bring everything together!
