We're all guilty of spending heaps of time online. But now with lectures and group projects online too, it's easy to miss connecting with our Profs and uni mates IRL.

Sometimes you just need a space to bounce around all the questions in your head. And the more help – the better. That's where these easy-to-use group chats do the trick.

Sending a bunch of files back and forth between group members can get pretty annoying. Not to mention, time consuming. Store projects in these shared spaces and you're away.
