Factor Social

A social platform for university students

Building on the idea that collaboration and community are essential for student success, Factor Social is a platform designed to connect university students through shared courses, interest groups, and events. By unifying academic and social spheres, it aims to create a dynamic, supportive environment that helps students learn and grow together.

About Factor Social

Factor Social addresses two key challenges often faced by university students:

  1. Fragmentation: Students may rely on multiple messaging apps, forums, or social media platforms to coordinate activities, forming scattered communities.
  2. Lack of Discovery: It can be difficult to find like-minded peers, study groups, or upcoming events tailored to a student’s interests and major.

Factor Social tackles these issues by providing:

  • Dedicated Course Hubs: Connect with classmates for collaborative study sessions, share notes, and discuss assignments.
  • Interest Groups: Form or join clubs around topics like AI, art, or entrepreneurship, and discover peers with similar passions.
  • Event Calendar: Stay updated on campus events and even organize your own meetups—no more missed deadlines for extracurriculars.

Caption photos easily. On the left, a road goes through a tunnel. Middle, leaves artistically fall in a hipster photoshoot. Right, in another hipster photoshoot, a lumberjack grasps a handful of pine needles.
This image can also have a caption. It's like magic.

You can also put regular text between your rows of images. Say you wanted to write a little bit about your project before you posted the rest of the images. You describe how you toiled, sweated, bled for your project, and then… you reveal its glory in the next row of images.

You can also have artistically styled 2/3 + 1/3 images, like these.

The code is simple. Just wrap your images with <div class="col-sm"> and place them inside <div class="row"> (read more about the Bootstrap Grid system). To make images responsive, add img-fluid class to each; for rounded corners and shadows use rounded and z-depth-1 classes. Here’s the code for the last row of images above:

<div class="row justify-content-sm-center">
  <div class="col-sm-8 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/6.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-4 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/11.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
</div>
