Problem
University students often struggle to find friends, study partners, and social activities outside their immediate class circle, especially when arriving at a new campus. Existing social platforms rely on anonymous feeds and broad networks, making it difficult to connect with verified peers from one's own university community.
Solution
Dorm is a social networking app that helps verified university students find friends, study groups, and events within their own campus community. The app requires a valid student email for verification, ensuring all users are genuine students from the same lärosäte. It organizes activity around local campuses rather than an anonymous feed, with dedicated sections for discovering people, joining interest-based groups, and attending or creating events. Users can browse between Upptäck, Event, Grupper, and Chatt functions, covering everything from study sessions to sports and casual meetups. The app is designed specifically for friendship and campus life, not dating, and is built by students for students.
