Dormify - Prepare for your Future

Overview

Dormify is a one‑stop shop for everything you need to survive your dorm life. When students first transition to University it can be a big change for them as they move away from their friends and family into the unknown with a bit of both excitement and nervousness. In such a time period without a standardized place to shop and without the time to build a proper checklist it is easy to forget some necessities that are cruical to thrving in a dorm. That is where our project comes in as it has a prebuilt checklist consisting of items that were emphasized in their importance by previous freshman to guide rising freshman to fufill their needs in a efficient and effective manner.
