4. [Ethan Delgado](https://github.com/ethan-delgado)

### Why are we making this?
At NYU, students looking to transition out of the NYU dormitories often have problems finding good roommates. The NYC apartment search can be quite cuttthroat, so preferences must be laid out far in advance before signing a lease. Even if a student finds a potential roommate, they often have to make sacrifices during or after signing a lease when they suddenly find that their preferences didn't match up. They might be strict about their share of the rent, but also kind of not want some "morning person" making a ruckus at 5am. We wanted to build a platform that allows students to find roomates from a large pool of potential candiates who are also currently looking, so that they can quickly find the best match, and initiate a conversation with them. Ultimately, this will allow students to start looking for an apartment as soon as possible, not just with those that qualify, but with those who are the best possible matches for them. It's kind of like Tinder, but for roommates.

### How does it work?
The user starts by filling out a form with their preferences for a roomate, such as their desired rent range, and whether or not they are a morning person. They can also set strict "dealbreaker," such as only wanting to room with someone the same gender as them. The user is then shown a list of their top matches, and are able to filter by additional criteria if so desired. The user will be free to view the profiles (and full preferneces) of the potential candidates, and initiate a private chat with them if so desired.
