Student Housing Network
Finding safe and affordable accommodation is one of the biggest challenges students face when they move away from home. While hostels, PGs, and rented houses exist, the process of finding them is often stressful and unreliable. Most students depend on brokers, word of mouth, or random social media groups, which results in high costs, unsafe living conditions, or mismatched facilities.
The gap in today’s housing platforms is that they focus mainly on families or working professionals, not students. Students have unique needs like low rents, flexible terms, proximity to campus, shared rooms, and peer reviews for safety and comfort. Current solutions fail to address these requirements.
My idea is to create a Student Housing Network, a dedicated platform that helps students easily find and compare hostels and rented houses near their colleges. It would include:
Verified listings with clear pricing and facilities.
Peer reviews and ratings for trust and safety.
Options for roommates or shared rentals to cut costs.
Direct landlord contact, avoiding broker fees.
Location-based search to find housing close to campus.
The main beneficiaries are students and their families, who gain peace of mind and reliable housing options, while hostel owners and landlords benefit from genuine tenants.
This problem matters to me because I’ve seen students waste valuable time and money on housing struggles. With a Student Housing Network, we can make accommodation stress-free, affordable, and safe for every student.

To make it stronger, focus on verification methods, scalability, trust mechanisms, and a clear business model. With these refinements, it has strong potential to become a reliable national platform for student housing.
