Our problem space is why some students suffer mental illnesses, ranging from depression, anxiety, to isolation. To narrow our problem space, we focused on isolation and investigated the various factors that lead to feeling isolation. After discussing with Sinet and many other experts and students, the most important deterrent for loneliness is gaining a sense of community. Community could be a group of people you share common backgrounds, hobbies, or general interests. Our goal is to develop a tool that better facilitates and motivates students to find groups of people to interact with.
