+## 📝 Description
+Campus Connected is a web platform designed to help students collaborate, share academic resources, and connect with seniors for mentorship and guidance. The platform solves the problem of fragmented academic communication by providing a centralized system for resource sharing and mentorship interaction.

+The project is built using the **MERN stack with TypeScript**, JWT authentication, and MongoDB Atlas.
