Overview

About the project

BetaCampus is a campus social platform for Nigerian university students: meet people on your campus, buy and sell in a student marketplace, find hostels and roommates, browse events, explore a campus-specific map and even walk a 3D version of campus. It covers more than 200 schools, with XP, levels and leaderboards to keep students engaged.

Who it is for

  • University students
  • Student vendors
  • Campus event organisers
The problem

What was getting in the way

  • Scattered campus group chats
  • Generic maps that do not know campus landmarks
  • Hard to find safe off-campus housing
  • No trusted place for students to buy and sell
The solution

What we built

We built one platform that gives each campus its own social space. Students create a profile tied to their school, then find people, hostels, events and vendors that are actually nearby.

Instead of a generic map, BetaCampus uses campus-specific landmarks and routes, and a 3D campus walk-through lets new students find their way before resumption. A student marketplace with in-app payments gives vendors a trusted place to sell, and XP, levels and leaderboards keep the community active.

The backend is multi-tenant, so adding a school is a configuration task, not a new build. That is how the platform scales to more than 200 schools.
