A move to Amsterdam to study Economics. The plan was straightforward — a degree, and a career built abroad.

Everything outside the classroom had to be worked out alone — local laws, safe housing, setting up finances, and who to trust.

Most socialising ran through the party scene, and a real circle never formed. Without one, staying stopped making sense. The move ended after a year.

That struggle wasn’t unique. Students everywhere want independence — yet hit the same walls: budgeting, trusted housing, and real community.

Student housing — simpler, safer, more transparent.
