nayavia

Nayavia is an early-stage project exploring how students experience college learning environments. It begins from a simple observation: the same college can feel enabling to some students and quietly misaligned for others, even when preparation and ability appear similar. Rather than focusing on rankings, predictions, or outcomes, Nayavia is interested in understanding what learning environments actually feel like from the inside.

Where this work currently stands At the moment, Nayavia exists as a research notebook. This work is focused on: thinking carefully about how college environments shape day-t0-day learning, listening to student experience without rushing to conclusions, questioning assumptions that are often taken for granted in college guidance. No data has been collected yet No analysis has been completed This emphasis is on forming the right questions before attempting answers. What this is not Nayavia is not a ranking system. It is not a recommendation engine. It is not a promise of better outcomes or a guide to choosing the right college. There is no advice being offered here, and no decisions being optimized. Research The core work currently lives in an ongoing research notebook. The writing is primarily for internal clarity. External readers may follow along, but the purpose is to document how the thinking evolves over time, including uncertainty, revisions, and dead ends.
