Student Area

It might be pretty difficult to stay away from your computer while studying for classes at home, especially if work needs to be done on an actual notebook. On the bright side of things, you can combine homework and various related info about your classes in specialized applications like Student Area.

Setup takes little time, letting you run it right afterwards to see what it’s all about. Although the visual design is meant to impress, it’s not really fitted with particular elements to make it stand out from the crowd. Sure, there’s a background picture you can change to make it your own, as well as custom icons to neatly represent all areas of management.

You start off in your own profile page, where you can write the name, age, class, and tutor, but also upload a picture of yourself, which can be under popular formats. All sections are easily accessed via buttons in the upper sections, and all details are automatically saved when navigating, so you don’t lose any info of interest.

Apart from the profile creator, you also gain access to a timetable, teacher and subject tracker, homework scheduler, as well as a general text pad in which you store your ideas. Unfortunately, the application doesn’t really depend on actual time, so you need to frequently check on your details and modify them correspondingly.

Sure enough the application wants to be personal, letting you customize the profile and add a background picture to make it look cool. However, it feels a little rough around the edges overall, with no possibility to adjust the window size, or work with any external files, regardless of their type.

All things considered, we can state that Student Area wants to help you cleverly organize your time and classes as a student. However, it comes with a pretty shallow set of features, and a rather poor interface, even if it’s meant to be your personal space.
