CAMPUS HOUSING + COMMUNITY
One university-verified app for compatible roommates, affordable housing, and real connections where students live.
Research summary from the HallMatch marketing research report.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Where students live shapes whether they feel secure, supported, and connected to campus.
TODAY
Generic roommate apps, group chats, property websites, and event calendars split one student journey across disconnected systems.
WITH HALLMATCH
HallMatch brings roommate matching, verified housing, and campus community into one personalized, university-specific platform.
THE COMPLETE STUDENT JOURNEY
HallMatch solves the search before move-in and supports connection after it.
COMPATIBLE ROOMMATES
Explainable scores turn daily habits, budget, location, culture, and personal needs into a clearer picture of life together.
VERIFIED OPTIONS
Search and compare listings by price, distance, move-in date, amenities, personal fit, and overlap with compatible roommates.
REAL CONNECTION
Interest and location-based events make it easier to show up, meet people nearby, and keep the relationship going.
YOU + MAYA
HallMatch explains how each score was built while keeping sensitive individual answers private.

MARKETING VIDEO
GO-TO-CAMPUS CAMPAIGN
HallMatch launches as part of student life, not as another top-down administrative app.
RAs, student government leaders, and club presidents share real HallMatch moments with ready-to-use social kits.
Short social prompts reward profile completion, event RSVPs, and community participation with HallStars.
Orientation, move-in, midterms, and finals trigger useful content such as roommate tips, study circles, and de-stress events.
QR placements in residence halls, laundry rooms, dining areas, and orientation materials turn physical traffic into app discovery.
SOCIAL CAMPAIGN INTRODUCTION
A student-led campaign invites roommates, event hosts, and campus connectors to share the small moment that made a new place feel like home.

DMI CAPSTONE · SUMMER II 2026
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I created this HallMatch website and app prototype as a class project for DMI Capstone, Summer II 2026, at Texas State University. The concept explores how thoughtful digital experience design can help students find compatible roommates, affordable housing, and a stronger sense of belonging.
