FindU is a college discovery app built for how students actually search. Swipe through schools, explore match scores, save your favorites, and uncover real opportunities, all in one place.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Kenny, and I'm a student and one of the co-founders of FindU. We built FindU to help students, especially first gen, find colleges that match their goals 🎯 This is our very first launch and there might be a few rough edges. Let us know any feedback or bugs you spot. We want to build something people actually use. Next on our roadmap is scholarships, in app messaging between students and admissions, student day in the life videos, and deeper school profiles. Know anyone college hunting? Share FindU with them ❤️ Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Maybe I am too soon, but I wish this product to have a place number one on this launch.
When I was about to finish secondary school, I was kinda confused about where to go.
If you could incorporate any tests for these schools for future applicants or tests that could categorise people and suggest to them the right fit, it would be mega cool!
@pritraveler Thank you so much we appreciate it! Yeah the rankings are subjective and don't really fit each students needs. We plan on adding scholarships and day in the lives at universities in future launches!
This is a really intuitive way to browse through and shortlist potential schools. I think your plan to add scholarship information will be key as sometimes this information is difficult to find, and available funding is often a big part of the decision on which school to attend. Another feature you may want to consider adding is linking schools to top industries/employers post-graduation (possibly by scraping this data from LinkedIn) so that it's easier for users to decide on a school based on future job aspirations.
@smjburton Thank you so much for the feedback! We fully agree, college isn't the best choice for every student graduating from high school, so employers would be a great addition!
Great idea guys. I like the user flow, looking forward to the features you mentioned. It would be really cool to have a direct message with an admission officer, it would be even cooler if you added read receipts to it. As a new International student, I am currently in the process of doing all the essential stuff before entering university. I know the struggles. You got the right user targets, there are a lot of us struggle a lot in this.
To add, I also built a web app "roomieHunt" for the same targeted users, this app solves students' housing problems. I just want to streamline the room-finding process. So I built roomieHunt. In the next few days, you will see the app on Product Hunt.
Best of luck — excited to see where FindU goes next! 👏

Good idea, guys! :)
@busmark_w_nika Thanks for the feedback, honestly we plan on using some level of ML in the future!

@knnymrls Looking forward to your progress! :) Good luck.
Congratulations!
I'm a maker but also a college student in Korea, and THIS must be the real ranking of the schools.
I don't really trust the rankings like QS, they got nothing to do with the real school life.
They only care about strange numbers.(like ratio of international students)
I hope I can find my school's review in FindU app :)

this jusy made the whole college hunt feel less overwhelming. Smart move.
@tim_david12 that's the goal, and hopefully with the upcoming features it gets even easier!

Congrats for the launch, but what makes it different? Why not use Spotify for instance?
Do you guys only feature colleges/unis in the USA? Or globally? 🤔
it saves lots of time. like the idea.
