CAMPUS CONNECT

The increasing demand for affordable and accessible resources among students has highlighted the need for a dedicated platform that facilitates safe and efficient exchange of goods and services within the campus community. Existing online marketplaces often lack features tailored to student needs, resulting in accessibility barriers, communication delays, and security risks. Campus Connect is an online marketplace exclusively designed for students, enabling peerto-peer transactions in a secure, accessible, and user-friendly environment. The platform supports mobile devices, ensures screen reader compatibility for visually impaired users, and integrates accessibility standards to make it usable by all. Communication between buyers and sellers is streamlined through direct WhatsApp integration, while account verification safeguards against fraudulent activities. The solution is developed using Flutter and Dart for a cross-platform, responsive frontend and Firebase for backend infrastructure, ensuring real-time data synchronization, secure payment handling, and scalable performance. Key features include advanced search filters, price estimation tools, easy advertisement posting, transaction tracking, and direct studentto-student interactions without intermediaries. Expected outcomes include improved affordability through access to second-hand goods, enhanced campus resource utilization, and stronger student networking. By combining accessibility, security, and convenience in a single application, Campus Connect aims to become the preferred marketplace for students, fostering a sustainable and collaborative campus economy.
