01what it is
What it does.
Choose a college, set soft preferences and optional hard requirements, and get residence halls ranked with a match score. Where an attribute is unknown it stays unknown rather than counting as a no. The live site reports coverage of 6,243 colleges, 1,423 halls, 59 states and territories, and 338 sources.
02the product
The live product.
Start from the college. Search for a college, then set what matters. The coverage figures on the page are the site's own live counts.
03engineering
How it is built.
A monorepo with the Next.js app and its API routes, a Prisma schema on Neon Postgres, a scoring package with a preference registry, and a scraper CLI for official hall directories that runs outside the serverless deployment.
