Why is my battery on my galaxy S4 draining so fast

The phone battery on my phone is draining incredibly fast, much faster than I've previously experienced without any considerable change in how I' using it. I've recently moved to uni, the signal is very poor in my room and is constantly dropping out and the phone is constantly switching between 4G and E mobile network connections. Could this be responsible? Any ideas to help?

Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! Yes, poor cell signal is one of the main causes of battery drain, because the phone has to work harder to find the signal. You may have to consider switching carriers.
