Brief Overview:

Study Buddy is a mobile application, hopefully available on both the iOS and Android platform, that intends to make the process of group studying easier for University students. It provides an interactive map interface that displays information regarding currently active study groups in the subjects and courses of the user’s interest. The goal of the application is to bring together students who don’t have pre-made study groups and want the same.
