About US

The student housing market in the US

The United States hosts the largest higher-education sector in the world, with more than 4,000 degree-granting institutions. International students concentrate in cities like New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and the Bay Area. Student housing is split between on-campus residence halls, off-campus shared apartments, and purpose-built private residences. Many landlords require a US-based guarantor or proof of income equal to 40x the monthly rent, which is why most international students use a guarantor service.
