This project introduces an '''AI Mentor Platform''' designed to assist students by providing
* personalized guidance, * academic planning,* emotional well-being support.
AI mentor aims to create a '''tailored''', '''supportive''' environment that helps students achieve their academic and personal goals efficiently and effectively.

Students at Istanbul Technical University face significant challenges in '''securing accommodation''' because of capacity problems in dormitories. Most of the students can't use dorms and the school is having budgeting issues with building new dorms.
These units can be easily expanded or reduced based on fluctuating student enrollment and demand, providing a flexible solution to the university’s accommodation challenges in the most affordable and environmental way.
* The modular design allows for '''quick expansion or reduction''' of housing units based on real-time student enrollment, ensuring that accommodation needs are met without overbuilding or underutilizing resources.* By utilizing modular units, the university can significantly reduce construction and maintenance costs by using eco-friendly materials, promoting environmental sustainability, aligning with the university’s commitment to a '''green campus''', and reducing the overall carbon footprint.
