Incorporating a Web-Based System to Implement Services and Recommendation System for International Students in Northeastern University (NEU)

Abstract

China has become a major study destination for many international students who come to study in many higher institutions at different levels. NEU is one of these higher institutions and as a result seeks to make life comfortable for the international students who come to study there. It is in this vein that this system has been designed with the objective of enabling any new foreign student arriving NEU to acquaint themselves with the new environment and integrate it in less than no time thereby overcoming the fear of the new environment which grips every new comer. Key technologies, tools such as Spring MVC/Security, JSF Prime Faces, etc. were carefully chosen for the development of the project. The system development followed the system development life cycle, specifically using the agile methodology. Testing proved that the proposed system is a very responsive and could run well on most browsers.
