Abstract: Student-centric social networking platforms are playing an essential role in engaging students with one another. These platforms are becoming increasingly popular among students worldwide for fostering cooperation, knowledge sharing, and the development of opportunities. This research paper aims to discuss a new student-centric social networking platform designed exclusively for colleges, where students can learn more about the college, explore available clubs, seek help from peers or faculty, share common interests, and stay up-to-date with campus happenings. A college-based social networking website was developed, where the front end was built with ReactJS, and the Chatbot API was built with Python and Flask. The Chatbot was implemented using natural language processing. The database was built using PostgreSQL and accessed via Hasura and GraphQL. The developed application/website promotes teaching and learning in a more dynamic manner, while also ensuring that user privacy is not compromised. Admins can use this platform to specify which semesters, classes, or teachers should receive notices. The faculty are accessible directly through this platform without sharing their personal contact information. It features a section for events and clubs, where all clubs can showcase their accomplishments and more. This allows students to meet other students with similar interests in the college (or alumni). This website also functions as a digital identification card. Furthermore, this platform is designed to connect users with the right people and enhance the college experience, both academically and socially.
