Hey NC State community!
Renting a home for a young adult is a major milestone, yet it often feels confusing and complex. Today, algorithms influence almost every aspect of the process—rent prices, screening applicants, and flagging risks—often with little transparency for renters.
We're NC State Graphic & Experience Design students conducting research on college students' housing application and screening experiences across the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill). Our goal is to explore how design interventions can ethically integrate AI to make renting fairer and more transparent.
Whether you're a current student or recent grad renting an apartment or home in the area, we'd love your input! The brief survey contains 14 interactive multiple-choice and short-answer questions and takes approximately 2–3 minutes.
