CollegeAR Pathway: Enhancing College Exploration with Machine Learning and Virtual Reality

Abstract - The CollegeAR Pathway project is an innovative solution aimed at simplifying the college selection process for students. This tool uses machine learning to provide personalized college recommendations based on a student’s academic profile and preferences. In addition to recommendations, the platform integrates immersive virtual tours of suggested colleges, allowing students to explore campuses remotely. The system is designed to enhance decision- making by offering an interactive, data-driven approach to college selection. The project combines machine learning models, 3D/360-degree virtual tour technologies, and user-friendly interfaces. By combining predictive algorithms with immersive virtual tours, the system helps students make well-informed decisions about their college applications. The project’s scope includes reducing the stress and time associated with campus visits while enhancing decision-making through personalized suggestions and interactive exploration of campuses.
