Industry
Challenge: When High Stakes Meet Low Visibility
Students and families often face a complex, high-stakes decision without access to clear benchmarks or context. Understanding whether a college offer is competitive, affordable, or sustainable over time can be overwhelming. Road2College needed a platform that could not only analyze offers from multiple institutions but also present results in a clear, student-friendly interface.
Clarity in a Sea of Offers
Zarego designed and developed a responsive web application that empowers users to compare college offers through data-driven insights. The platform combines a clean, accessible frontend built in React/Next.js with a robust serverless backend using AWS Python Lambdas. Features like account tiering, secure data handling, and admin control panels make it suitable for both individual users and institutional partners. API-driven architecture ensures scalability and integration with future financial or admissions tools.
With Road2College, we turned a complex decision into a clear, guided experience. It’s a great example of tech solving a real-world need.
Results
The Road2College platform launched successfully and is helping thousands of students and families navigate college admissions with greater confidence. By delivering real-time comparisons and personalized insights, it’s transforming how users evaluate higher education offers—bridging the gap between emotional decisions and financial reality.
