25% of students drop out due to social and emotional factors.
Every student is different and increasingly struggles with the interpersonal skills needed to navigate the new challenges of college. Staff are expected to understand each student’s needs and provide the right support at the right moment.
A difficult task without deeper visibility.
Increase in tensions and conflicts
Roommate issues, miscommunication, unclear expectations, and low self-awareness create unnecessary friction and stress for students and staff.
Declining belonging and higher social isolation
Students feel isolated, disconnected, and unsure of how to build healthy relationships — directly impacting wellbeing and academic success.
Staff overload and limited visibility
Instead of creating meaningful relationships and experiences, staff get stuck in crisis management, and with students sharing less, staff are left guessing what they really need.
The Student Experience Design Platform
Coly gives students and staff the insight and guidance needed to prevent the challenges from day one. Deeper understanding of each student helps build interpersonal skills, improve communication, and prevent tensions from escalating. Staff gain the visibility they need to reduce guesswork, strengthen belonging, and support students early and effectively.
Creating the best student experience, by design.
Assess & Understand
Students complete a short assessment covering personality, values, and lifestyle. This creates clear, actionable profiles that build self-awareness and give staff deeper visibility into each student’s needs, expectations, and shared-living tendencies.
Design Your Student Experience
Coly transforms insight into action by helping you understand community dynamics, match compatible roommates, guide tensions and conflicts with personality-based insights, recommend personalised programs, and support students with micro-coaching for communication and collaboration.
Measure What Matters & Improve Continuously

The earlier you understand your students, the bigger the impact.
Rising conflicts, unengaged students, room changes, and dropouts aren’t “just part of the job.” They’re preventable.
To prevent them, you need a deep understanding of your students — how they behave, what they need, and how they’re truly doing. Offering the right support at the right moment can be the difference between a student staying or dropping out.
With Coly, you can start gathering the right data from day one, giving you early visibility into your students’ needs, personalities, and community dynamics — long before issues escalate.
