New students often feel anxious navigating campus, attending events, and making connections, while existing university apps lack interactivity. Campus Compass was designed to solve this with AR navigation, event discovery, a buddy system, and personalized onboarding. The main challenge was balancing rich features with simplicity, achieved through clean layouts, intuitive flows, and accessibility checks. The result is a welcoming, user-centered app that helps students feel confident, connected, and supported in their first weeks on campus.
