Find the right accommodationbefore you arrive.
Moving abroad for university is a big decision. Choosing where to live is one too.
Tell us where you're studying, your budget, and when you're moving. We'll help you find accommodation near your university and within your budget.
Trusted by students moving abroad
Most students find accommodation. We help them find the right one.
Finding accommodation abroad is one of the most important decisions you make before moving. Most platforms hand you a search bar and leave you to it. HearthAway pairs you with an advisor who guides you to the right decision.
Talk to an Accommodation AdvisorTell us about yourself
Share your university, move-in date, budget, and what matters most to you. It takes about three minutes and helps us understand your situation properly.
Your situation, not just a search query.
Your advisor reviews your needs
A real member of our team reviews your details, checks verified properties near your campus, and builds a shortlist matched to your specific requirements.
Not an algorithm. A person.
Review and ask questions
We present your matched options with specific and detailed information. Ask anything. We help you understand the differences so you can decide with confidence.
Every question is a good question.
Book before you fly
Confirm your accommodation from home, before you travel. Arrive knowing exactly where you are going and what to expect on day one.
Land. Do not search.
Most platforms help students search.
HearthAway helps students choose.

Before they flew.

University of Manchester
MSc Data Science
“Finding a flat in Manchester from my bedroom in Delhi was a total nightmare. Landlords either ghosted me or asked for insane upfront deposits. HearthAway sorted a verified place in three days and I had the lease locked down before booking my flight.”
University College Dublin
MSc Finance
“Other student housing websites are pure garbage. Just hundreds of fake listings with zero verification and brokers trying to scam you the second they hear you are international. HearthAway actually cuts the noise and gets you a real place.”
University of Edinburgh
MSc Computer Science
“My parents were panicking about me moving to the UK alone and getting ripped off by some fake online landlord. Showing them a verified property on HearthAway was the only thing that shut them up and let me pack my bags in peace.”
