Trying to find a free study desk or an open lecture room on campus is honestly like playing hide and seek—and it shouldn’t be this hard. During peak hours, libraries, canteens, and common rooms are packed, but tons of desks and rooms just sit empty because no one knows what’s actually free. So, we waste time running around, people reserve spots with their bags, double bookings happen at the last minute, and all this chaos just adds to our stress when we should be studying or teaching.
I'm thinking about making a new scheduling system that could make life way easier for students like me. The idea is to have one app that can handle timetables for every year and branch, and show which rooms are free or taken in real time. Picture this: admins just enter all the schedules (like course names, lecture times, instructors, and room assignments) for each branch and year. The system makes sure there are no clashes—like two classes in the same room at the same time—and marks rooms as "unavailable" when they're booked. If you put the official schedule together with live room status, students and teachers would finally have an app they can actually trust for planning their day or finding a spot to study or rest.
There are a ton of benefits. Students wouldn’t waste time or get stressed trying to figure out where to go, and teachers and admins could avoid scheduling mix-ups. Even the facilities team could see which rooms are actually being used, so they can clean or set up as needed. And for new students or commuters, it’d be way easier to plan their day. Honestly, this matters to me a lot. As a second-year student juggling classes and deadlines, I waste at least half an hour every week just trying to find a quiet place to study—time I’d much rather spend actually studying or just chilling. If we had an app that showed real-time room availability plus the official schedule, campus life would be way less stressful and way more efficient.
Yes, challenges remain—cost, maintenance, onboarding, and ensuring reliable updates—but this is a small, practical innovation that could immediately improve daily campus life.
