[FEATURE] Student Connections

[n1sh1thaS]

This feature involves creating a Student Connections page to allow student users to network with each other.

Additional details regarding what to implement for this feature:

• Create a page that is similar to the Alumni Connections page except lists all of the student users.
• Add a new tab to the side navbar so that users can navigate to the Student Connections page.
• Right now, alumni users have an option to select whether their profiles are publicly available to students/other alumni. Implement the same option in the edit profile page and the account creation flow for students. Ensure that only students who have marked their profile as public are displayed on the Student Connections page.
• In the individual student profile pages, add an attribute that specifies what the student is looking for in terms of connecting with other students. Also, alter the edit profile page and the account creation flow to collect this data from student users. Multiselect options for this include:

1. Mock Interviews
2. Project Collaboration
3. Case Study Practice
4. Resume & Portfolio Feedback
5. Competition/Hackathon Partner
6. Study Buddy
7. General Networking
8. Knowledge Sharing
9. <feel free to add any other options you think will be useful>

• Instead of filtering by industry like in the Alumni Connections page, allow users to filter the list of students by major of study and purpose for connecting.

This sounds like a great feature. For the 'Mock Interview' connection type, you might want to look at tools like CleverMock for inspiration on how to structure the feedback/scoring if you plan to add automated evaluation later. It handles the voice interruption part well, which is tricky.
