A university student’s passion for accessible education resonated across social media after he provided a master list of essential, cost-free academic

The student, TikTok user @timstudyfetch, started his video by expressing his firm belief that education should be free and accessible to all.

The student shares four free study websites

The first tool he mentioned was Live Lecture from Study Fetch. He emphasised that this feature is entirely free, even without a Study Fetch subscription. The site’s key function is to record live lectures and convert them into study notes that students can review later, a feature that he noted is often charged for on other platforms. The second free resource he highlighted was Google Scholar, expressing puzzlement as to why more people are not utilising this simple yet powerful tool for searching and accessing academic articles.

He then recommended Libgen.ac, which he described as a treasure trove of free textbooks that 'has everything.' He cautioned, however, that students should definitely use an Ad Blocker due to the site's high number of pop-ups. His final recommendation was Studocu.com, a platform containing numerous past papers for practice. He provided a smart hack for accessing this resource for free: users can gain full access simply by uploading their own study notes.
