Description
Finding a roommate, especially if you are new to the area, can be challenging. A roommate
is someone you share a living space with and it is very important to find the perfect one.
Many people settle on random roommates because of the lack of ease of finding the perfect
one and end up in substandard situations. This project will not only make it easier to find a
roommate, but match people based on an ideal fit through various personal questions and
verifications.
