Chiara 5-star rating

University of Edinburgh

I left my accommodation search in Edinburgh to the last minute and was starting to panic. Most places were gone or didn’t reply. Found a few options here and ended up booking a studio within 2 days. Julia made sure I had all the documents right and that the contract was sorted quickly. So grateful 🙏

Khaled 5-star rating

University of Manchester

Booking housing from abroad is very stressful because you cannot see the place yourself. But my advisor Roberta was extremely helpful. She sent extra pictures, a video walkthrough and answered all my questions. I am very grateful for her help making this easy for me from so far away.
