The Problem

Prospective college students struggled to find authentic, detailed information about actual campus life and facilities beyond official college brochures and marketing materials. Existing review platforms lacked specific categories relevant to student life, and students needed a mobile-first solution to research colleges on-the-go. Parents and students required reliable, peer-reviewed information to make informed decisions about college selection and campus visits.

The Challenge

Developing a comprehensive college review platform required creating intuitive rating systems across multiple facility categories, implementing user authentication to ensure authentic student reviews, designing mobile-first interfaces for iOS and Android platforms, building a scalable cloud infrastructure to handle growing college databases, integrating content management systems for college information, ensuring data accuracy and preventing spam reviews, and creating an engaging user experience that encouraged students to share detailed, helpful reviews.

The Result

College Visit successfully launched as a comprehensive mobile platform providing students with detailed, authentic insights into college facilities and campus life. The app's multi-category rating system enables nuanced comparisons between institutions, while community-driven reviews offer real student perspectives. The platform helps prospective students make more informed college decisions by providing detailed facility ratings, authentic student experiences, and comprehensive campus information accessible from their mobile devices.
