- Our goal in initiating this project was to provide students with a safer, more transparent and interactive platform for locating safe housing, and allow landlords to engage as well, through reviews, ratings, and comments. We learned that safe student housing is basically this huge elephant in the room no one talks about, because it can have negative influence on University reputations, and there’s only so much that can be controlled and it was a struggle to research. We tried our best to give students the ability to offer opinions on certain areas or properties in which their first-hand experience would be practically considered as well as landlords to provide more transparent information and communicate their efforts to make right past tenant grievances. The toughest objective to tackle for us proved to be monetization and securing funding, but we believe we arrived at the best conclusion, especially with the help of our wonderful mentor Andrea Anania.
