The system's primary purpose is to assist boarders in their search for dorms that would accommodate their stay and find roommates who complement their lifestyle.

Dormee is a cross-platform system designed to simplify the monotonous searching of dorms or roommates by delivering personalized recommendations for either category according to the set of specifications cited by the user. The specifications are then sent to the system as the database is thoroughly scoured, returning results that closely resemble the specifications after their likeness calculation. It accomplishes this through the aid of itembased collaborative filtering in deciding which entities to include within the recommendation list.
