College Clustering
I clustered colleges based on neighborhood similarities. This will help if you have a specific type of environment in mind. For example, many international students want part-time jobs in cafés and giants like Walmart.
Every year many graduates pursue masters, if we consider us (people doing the course), many of us would want to go for "Computer Science & Information Technology" field. The top choices for us would be USA, UK, Canada (intentionally ignoring Germany because German is compulsory in it). What many people want is a proper neighborhood (ignoring money constraints), once you do find a good college, you might want to know what lies near the college, we'll use FourSquare API to explore the neighborhood and find colleges having the same neighborhood. So if you don't get selected in the college you would know what colleges have similar neighborhood, makes it easy to choose what colleges to choose to send application based on your neighborhood preference. For example I want a safe neighborhood, with many cafes and gyms (suppose) so I would explore neighborhood BASED on my preferences, and so can everyone else. This is useful for any student who wants to go to a college with a similar neighborhood in or to other country.
