I've tried on 4 separate occasions to book a room and was never contacted by the Booking agent named Mica. The booking consultant kept saying that the information has been passed on to the relevant person (Micah) and I was NEVER contacted. Ruby, the booking consultant on the website chat was very understanding and apologised more than once. When I tried for the fourth and last time tonight, the booking consultant this time named Lorraine CLOSED THE CHAT ONE ME when I complained of their unprofessional behaviour. What kind of company is this????? Am I supposed to beg you to pay you money? STAY AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE!!!!
I can't figure out if this is short-term vacation rentals ("Stress-free Booking") or 9-month-long housing ("Find accommodation near your university"). They charge per-week, which doesn't make sense for longer-term rentals. But they keep referring to being "close to your studies" all over the site.
We've been fascinated by the rise of shared and unique accommodations for different verticals, from family-focused units (@kidandcoe) to luxury (@onefinestay). What's unique about Student.com is that the marketplace fills a massive void for students both studying abroad or even in cases like here in NYC, lack of inventory for to live in. To see the problem, the NYT ran a recent story detailing how NYU solves this by partnering w. local hotels: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/1...

I don't know why it has to be called as Student.com. Irrelevant to the concept of the site. And one can easily debate it as a name-bait. Nevertheless, a needed one.
