Built Edutrial – “Try Before You Choose” for University Majors (Looking for Feedback!)

Hey Indie Hackers!

I recently launched Edutrial – a platform that lets high school students experience different university majors before they commit to one.

❓The Problem:

Too many students (especially in Vietnam, where I’m based) pick a major based on:

• Parental pressure

• Prestige or income potential

• No real understanding of the subject

This leads to regret, wasted tuition, and years spent studying something they don’t love.

🎯 The Solution:

Edutrial lets students:

• Take trial lessons in different majors (business, law, engineering, etc.)

• Get AI-powered recommendations based on interests/personality

• Read real student stories from people in those fields

Think: a “career test” meets mini-courses + reality check.

🌱 Traction:

• MVP launched with first users

• Partnerships forming with schools and student ambassadors

• Focused on Vietnam now, but the problem is global

💬 Would love your feedback:

• Does this problem resonate in your country?

• If you were 17 again, would this help?

• How can I make the trial experience more fun / sticky / shareable?

You can check out a demo or just drop any thoughts. Brutal honesty welcome.

Thanks! 🙏
