The day to day struggle of college students is Real. Outside of the expected pressures of completing a degree, students are facing an increased number of indirect challenges that inhibit their ability to complete their education.

Real Stories was created as a platform to uplift student voices and celebrate them in their entirety. It is a space where students can be their authentic selves and share their experiences. Built as both a traveling art installation and a virtual experience, Real Stories creates a space free of judgement and retaliation to raise awareness and understanding to the unique challenges students face, and their personal perseverance.

The virtual installation, is visual and audio experience that immerses visitors in the emotional and day to day experiences faced by today's college students.
