Fren-Z

Making friends in University is not as easy as we think it is. As we dash between our commitments, we long for companionship from our friends. Yet, at the same time, it is difficult to find time and opportunities to make new friends. Fret not! Project Fren-Z is here to help you make friends on the go through an interest-based matching algorithm.

Description

With the pandemic, we recognize that it has become increasingly difficult to make friends in university. Our preliminary survey revealed that most NUS students struggle to form meaningful connections and the top challenges include the lack of opportunities and time.

Hence, we created a simple algorithm that collects your interests in less than a minute and forms groups of 3-5 for further interactions. Alternatively, you can also get matched to one of our Pitstop peer supporters based on your preferences and concerns if all you need is a listening ear.

The process is casual and hassle-free, and it is an exciting opportunity to meet like-minded peers outside of having to join orientations, stay on campus, or attend CCAs.
