Project Background
LeuvenLife is a centralized web application designed as a digital onboarding guide for international students arriving at KU Leuven. While initially conceptualized to cover multiple pillars of student life, we strategically pivoted our scope to deliver a highly robust, deeply interactive experience focused entirely on campus dining. Today, LeuvenLife serves as the ultimate Alma Culinary Encyclopedia, utilizing live APIs, AI cultural analysis, and interactive mapping to introduce international freshmen to Belgian campus food.
