College Central

Initially, the idea of college central is an amazing concept that can impact a students life in college tremendously. The presentation was well organized in its development of the idea behind college central. The interviews were quite intriguing to watch. They truly demonstrated the meaning of college central and the hassle it solves. Also, the interviews provide real-time data of how college students feel about their campus. For example, in Christain Brothers University the day a day hassles include; parking, not knowing about events, study groups, an excessive amount of work, and expensive. College Central would solve each problem with the use of an app or website that can inform the student, provide online resources and communication. It reduces the amount of information a student misses on the daily. On the websites, it provides upcoming events around campus. This feature is a very useful tool for a college student. In fact, the number of events I as student miss proves that student lack in awareness about campus event. A student receives an email about events but usually never checks it. Therefore, this feature can change the student interaction with the campus. College central doesn't end there with its amazing features. It also allows you to organize the events you would attend and alerts you about events you missed. Even though college central has some great features it also has some features that need to improve. For example, the book exchange is a great idea for a feature but lacks in details. Its risky to go exchange a book with another person on campus not knowing what conditions it could be or if its a scam. I propose that online textbook should be exchanged such as pdf or codes that give you access to an online textbook. One of the most common situations was the fact that the food is bad for how expensive it is. On College Central, it would provide a tab that lists near food location that offers college students discount. Lastly, the concept of College Central is a great idea that can solve many major complaints about Christain Brothers University. The presentation gave us a good understanding of how useful is this website or app.  Each member explains how this app would change awareness and increase engagement at CBU. This idea should be presented to all universities or college to increase involvement from their students that could affect the way they perform in their studies.
