Students pursuing higher education are required to actively learn, participate in academic and social activities, and develop critical and innovative thinking. Interactions between students, both with peers and lecturers, play a crucial role in shaping the learning experience on campus. The importance of these interactions prompted the researcher to design an application specifically for the campus environment. The app features chat, adding friends, and finding mates to expand students' social interactions. The find mate feature allows students to find friends randomly, while the maps feature makes it easier for them to find the location of their lecturers and friends in real time. By integrating the concept of a Location-Based Social Network (LBSN), this application is expected to reduce the level of academic stress and improve the quality of interaction among students and lecturers. Students can easily find friends and lecturers, and share locations in real-time. The method is based on the Prototyping Model and the testing is based on the Black-box method. The results are implemented through the Use Case diagrams and graphical user interfaces. The application prototype has been completely designed, however, recommendations for future researchers need to consider the application OS version for multiple platforms to broaden the user base.References
