What Students Have to Say
Real stories from students who found housing and landlords who filled vacancies through UniBid.
We were juniors trying to rent off campus and had no clue where to start. UniBid showed us exactly what was available, let us bid as a group, and the landlord accepted within a day. It was way easier than emailing random listings.
Lena C.,Class of '25
We got ghosted by a Facebook landlord and were panicking. UniBid had verified listings and actual lease options. We signed our lease in 48 hours. Never using Facebook again.
Evan T.,Class of '26
Everyone in my house wanted to live together again senior year. We found a place on UniBid, pooled our bid, and the platform let us track everything. It was transparent and honestly fun.
Rachel M.,Class of '25
I’m a transfer student and didn’t know anyone local. UniBid made it super easy to find a safe, solo rental that fit my budget, and I didn’t need to sign with roommates I didn’t know.
Chris N.,Class of '27
We used UniBid to find off-campus housing near Fairfield University and had an awesome experience. Everything was clear, including pricing, lease dates, and landlord info, and the bidding made the process super fair.
Sofia M.,Class of '26
As a student, I loved being able to invite my parents to my profile so they could see everything I saw. It gave them peace of mind, and it gave me confidence knowing everything was verified and straightforward.
