bu room swap
DESCRIPTION
Swapping dormitories is not as easy as one would think at Boston University. You have to go to the housing office, fill out a note card with your information, stick it in a binder and hope another student looking at the binder later will call you up requesting your room. With a couple of friends, I built a website to bring this archaic process online and create a better system for unhappy students.TRANSCRIPT
