We ensure that students feel well-supported throughout the accommodation process, from before they leave home to after they settle into their new environment. Our consultants will brief you on all the available options that are available as per the specified budget and comfort. Here’s a breakdown of how we provide comprehensive support:
We help students understand the on-campus housing options available at their chosen university, including room types, costs, amenities, and application deadlines.
We offer information about off-campus accommodation such as student apartments, hostels, and shared housing. Our consultant ensures that students are aware of the pros and cons, costs, and how to find reliable listings.
For students who prefer a more immersive cultural experience, we help them find homestay options where they can live in a secure and affordable home away from home.
We operate on local networks and international partnerships to help students find suitable housing.
We have access to popular online accommodation platforms like UniAcco, Student.com, HousingAnywhere, or others specific to the country of study.
ExplorEd offers personalized support based on students' budget, location preferences, and lifestyle needs. Assist in shortlisting housing options, arranging virtual tours, or helping them understand lease agreements.
Our consultant will explain you how different types of accommodations may impact visa applications or residence permits. Some countries have specific requirements (e.g., showing proof of accommodation for the visa application).
We assist our students in understanding lease agreements, including the terms and conditions, security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and cancellation policies.
We act as an intermediary for students to help our students reserve or book accommodations early, especially for popular cities or university towns where housing is limited.
We offer to arrange accommodation in advance, ensuring students have a place to stay when they arrive. This is especially helpful for students arriving before the academic year starts or those who arrive early for orientation.
We provide a transparent breakdown of accommodation costs (monthly rent, utilities, etc.) and how these compare to students’ expected living expenses. We also assist students budget for rent, deposits, utilities, and other housing-related costs.
Our consultants offer tips on how to find affordable housing in expensive cities in case you want to look locally, such as recommending less central locations or providing guidance on shared housing options.
We assist our students to navigate cultural differences related to housing, such as understanding household norms, communicating with landlords, or settling into a new living environment.
ExplorEd provides orientation on how to settle in, like how to get to their accommodation from the airport, grocery shopping, and setting up utilities (internet, electricity).
We offer assistance in case students face housing problems after arrival, such as eviction, disputes with landlords, or sudden changes in accommodation availability.
We provide emergency contacts for temporary accommodation in case the original booking falls through or if students need to relocate quickly.
Some countries require students to show proof of accommodation when applying for a visa. With ExplorEd by your side, you can be rest assured that our students in ensuring meet these requirements, especially if the accommodation is provided by a private landlord or third party.
We participate actively in creating accommodation packages in collaboration with universities or local accommodation providers for our students. These packages could include everything from a student’s room to meal plans, internet, and transportation, all bundled together at a discounted price.
After students are settled in, we ask them to share feedback on their accommodation experience, which will allow us to refine our offerings and provide better guidance to future students.
We offer post-arrival support to help students with anything related to accommodation, whether it's finding a roommate, moving out, or dealing with accommodation issues.
