Colleges choose EDUrain because student support is the main focus of our marketplaces
Off-campus housing is a growing and fragmented industry.
A Real Partner - McKendree University
More than just roommate matching and college email verification
College Housing Strategy
We work with the college's housing strategy like at McKendree ( we work within their on-campus dorm strategy which means no off-campus support for students unless approved to live-offcampus - ask uis how) vs. just being a isting site where landlords can grab students.
EDUrain's Differentiators
"EDUrain is a local startup that's completely focused on student housing. They not only help students find off-campus housing quckly but also reduce the department's workload, provide clear tracking throughout the entire process, and offer a credit building program. Best of all it's free!"
- Calvin Wertman, Director of Residence Life & Greek Affairs at McKendree
Webster University
"We don't have enough room on campus to house all of our students. We even partner with other schools to try and fill the need for housing and even that is full."
- Rachael Amick, Director of Housing and Residence Life at Webster University
