College students are becoming increasingly busy with coursework and personal commitments, so much to a point that it is getting harder to meet others and socialize. This difficulty becomes more prevalent when certain courses requires students to meet each other to form study groups, produce group projects, and more.
FriendZone is an all-in-one social media platform that allows UCSD students to find friends within their classes easily, without distractions that come with traditional social media. With FriendZone's friend-matching algorithm, students can find others who are most compatible with schedules, creating new opportunities of group studying and socializing, and thus breaking the barrier of taking the first step of meeting others in the same class.
This application runs on any browser (Google Chrome recommended), with a proper internet connection. We also recommend an aspect ratio of 16:9 with no custom zoom for best experience in FriendZone.

The system shall allow the new user (without verifying their email) to create a profile and use our feature. However, if the user exits FriendZone / refreshes, the user shall not be able to access any feature until they verify the email. This behavior is by design to allow users to get a first impression of FriendZone features.

If a user's last name is very long, it might overlap with the "major" field. We are currently resolving this problem.
