Edustay: Digital Platform for Student Housing and Nearby Facilities

Students migrating to new cities for higher education frequently encounter difficulties in finding safe, affordable, and reliable accommodation near their educational institutions. Traditional approaches such as broker-based searching, physical visits, and personal references are inefficient, time-consuming, and lack transparency. In many cases, students also face challenges due to unverified information and limited knowledge about nearby essential facilities.
EduStay is proposed as a digital platform that provides a centralized solution for student housing and related services. The system allows students to view verified room, hostel, and mess facility listings along with information about nearby essential facilities such as banks, bus stops, and medical stores. By digitalizing accommodation data and making it easily accessible through a mobile platform, EduStay reduces dependency on brokers and simplifies the accommodation search process. The proposed system aims to improve efficiency, transparency, and convenience for students relocating for education.
