Meeting Gen Z’s Tech Expectations On Campus

As Barnes & Noble reports, the incoming generation of college students is “all technology, all the time,” relying on mobile apps to keep their lives organized. They expect hassle-free, tech-enabled campus experiences even before they arrive.

Aptitude For Self-Reliance

The Barnes & Noble survey notes that Gen Z students “flourish in any learning environment where they can…make their own decisions.” 
That independence and willingness to do more independently extends into their housing administrative behaviors as well.  Students preferred hands-on, interactive devices for learning and included common housing management processes like choosing student housing and vetting potential roommates. 

Student Use of Technology Needs To Extend Into The Housing Management Process

The Housing.Cloud housing management platform is right where these expectations lie. It puts campus residency decisions in students’ hands.  This ensures they can easily adopt the social-like platform because it offers a frictionless mobile or desktop login to self-serve housing selection, see real-time availability, and deliver stability during peak demand times.  

These housing management promises empower students to do more with the technology campuses provide and avoid frustration and a resulting lack of adoption.
