This student accommodation platform offers services pertaining to every part of the housing process in one, easy-to-use place to off a more streamlined transition into student life for overseas students.

Having studied in the United Kingdom, Saurabh Arora and Mayank Maheshwari witnessed first-hand the struggles that overseas students faced in finding quality accommodation while studying in international universities. The overwhelming demand for student housing makes it challenging for universities to accommodate everyone on campus, thereby leaving five out of six students globally to find private alternatives. The absence of any dedicated platform where students can receive expert assistance throughout this process and consolidated information in order to make an informed decision led them to establish University Living, a global student accommodation managed marketplace that offers all-accommodation related services under one roof for a smooth transition into student life overseas.

“The idea was to provide a one-stop solution for students to not just compare and book the best accommodation that fits their needs but to receive constant guidance from a 24/7 support team of student housing experts on requirements that go beyond the bed.”

— Saurabh Arora, Founder and CEO, University Living

Today, University Living has expanded its portfolio of value-added service offerings to provide not just accommodation assistance but doorstep delivery of room essentials, professional guarantor service for easy payment plans, setting up of a student bank account overseas, airport transfer service for a smooth check-in, pre-activated overseas mobile SIM, forex solutions to make secure transactions, and more.
