Our story

Too much to keep track of

Before I started at Carolina, I was trying to get organized for college. My schedule was in one place and campus information was in another.

I wanted to open one thing and see what I needed for the day, so I started building it for myself.

That's me, Liam.

The first version

I had the first version working a couple of weeks before classes started, and I put it online the next day.

Other students tried it and told me what to fix and what to add. That's still how I decide what to work on next.

More campuses

Once it was working at Carolina, I started building Life At for other schools. Every campus has its own classes and buildings, so each one gets its own version.

Then I made the iPhone app, where the first thing you do is pick your school.

The three of us

As more people started using Life At, there was more to do than write code. Auset joined to run our social media and content, and Aryan joined to help with growth and operations.

You can read more about them on the team page.

What's next

I'm still working on Life At, and I'd like to bring it to more schools. The next version will come from what students tell me they need.

If you'd like Life At at your school, or there's something you want added, I'd love to hear from you.

Common questions

Is Life At part of my university?

Life At is an independent student project and isn't affiliated with any university.

Which campus edition should I open?

Choose your school from the campus directory to open its edition of Life At.

What can I do in Life At?

Use Life At to plan your week, track goals, find classrooms, and ask other students for help.

What if something is wrong or missing?

Send feedback with your school, the page you were using, and what you expected to happen. A screenshot can help, and missing-building reports should include the building's name and location.

Can I help, or suggest another school?

To suggest another campus or help with an existing edition, get in touch with your school and what you'd like to work on.
