Testimonials

Real Students, Real Stories!

Real Students, Real Stories!

  • Finding an apartment was tough, but choosing the right locality was even harder. Akshat wasn’t familiar with NYC’s rental landscape, making his search frustrating. Unistay guided him to the best areas for students like him.

  • Mihir was anxious about where to begin, but Unistay offered constant support—from neighborhood recommendations to direct connections with realtors—so he never felt alone in the process.

  • Without a strong application, getting an apartment felt impossible. Chirranjeavi had no idea what documents were needed, and landlords rarely considered incomplete applications. Unistay guided him in building a solid portfolio, improving his chances of approval.

  • Ashvin wasn’t just looking for a place—he was looking for flatmates. Unistay’s community feature helped him meet the right people share advice, and feel more at home in a new city.

  • Amratanshu struggled to reach brokers in NYC, with most never responding. Frustrated and stuck in a cycle of unanswered inquiries, he turned to Unistay, which helped him find his ideal apartment.
