A curated list of the best software, tools, textbooks, channels, and resources for students.
This is a curation list, not a code library. Every entry links out to a tool, channel, or book maintained by someone else, not to something hosted here. Any student, anywhere: add yours by opening a PR, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
This list covers life around school: discounts, money, career prep, and wellbeing. Awesome Study Resources covers exam, curriculum, and subject-specific study material instead, and Awesome Skills & Plugins for Students covers AI coding-agent skills and plugins built for students. They stay separate because the logistics of being a student and the coursework itself call for different resources, and splitting keeps each list focused enough to be useful.
Every entry carries a tag badge (free, freemium, or paid, plus FOSS where it applies), so you know before you click. Resources within each list are ordered alphabetically. See the Quality Standards for what earns a spot.

Note
This list points to third-party tools, channels, and books. StudentSuite does not own, host, or endorse them, and it earns nothing from these links. Pricing and free tiers change, so check the current terms before you commit. If a listed entry is dead, misleading, or no longer free where we said so, open an issue or PR to fix it.
An entry should meet all of the following before being added:
- Genuinely useful to students. It helps you study, build, or organize, not just browse.
- Real and maintained. Actively available, not abandoned or a dead link.
- Accessible. Free, freemium, or clearly worth the price; tagged with exactly one pricing badge (plus FOSS where it applies).
- Reputable. A known tool, channel, or book, not spam or an affiliate funnel.
- Short description. One line, plain language, no marketing copy.
PRs adding a resource are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the entry format and PR checklist, and the Code of Conduct for how we expect people to treat each other here. See CHANGELOG.md for release history.
