What is Studcasa?
Going abroad is the best thing you’ll do at uni. Sorting it out alone? Brutal. Studcasa is the group chat that does it for you: verified housing, real people already there, and Alpa 🦙 making sure you never land somewhere new on your own.
How it works
The friend who already did the exchange, packaged. No corporate onboarding, just the stuff that actually helps.
Pick your city from all the ones on offer. One tap, no account needed.
Connect with everyone heading to the same place and start chatting with your future mates now!
Explore your city guide and prepare stress-free with housing tips, deals, and reviews from students who’ve been there.
Community
Studcasa is the group chat for going abroad: alumni guides, verified housing and people who get it. Allergic to corporate, built with love.
A word from the founder
“Landed in Puebla, Mexico. Found the experience incredible, but realised how little help there is to prep for it: to get advice, find safe housing, and arrive stress-free already knowing a few people and some recommended spots to visit. So I promised myself I’d help you with all the next ones.”
The story
No funding deck, no grand plan. Just a problem we kept hitting and refused to leave for the next batch.
Guilhem and Robin start a group after their own exchange to connect the people leaving together. Then 2, then 3, then 50.
A few housing spots recommended by alumni, more groups created, a small platform in place.
Global launch, July 2026. The thing we wish we’d had goes worldwide. Every exchange city, one tap away. Never land somewhere new on your own. For real this time.
The humans
A small crew of ex-exchange students who got tired of watching everyone start from zero. So we built the thing we wish we’d had.
CEO
On a mission so that no student ever lands somewhere new on their own.
COO
Turns "ugh, why is this so hard" into one tap.
CRO
Keeps students, partners and universities all pulling the same way.
CTO
Keeps the whole thing fast enough to use at 3am pre-flight.
Chairman
Started the first WhatsApp group after his own exchange, and never stopped.
Join the team
We’re a small crew with a big map to fill. If you’ve been on exchange and still have opinions about it, we should talk. Bring your city, your story, your skills.
Real talk
Thousands of students have already done it. Here’s what they said.
“The place was not fancy at all, but the neighborhood was very calm, cute with a lot of stores next to it. It is very local and the neighbors are always welcoming. At the end we had an argument with the landlord because she did not give us our deposit back.”

“We usually was hanging out at the dormitory. Gruuv and Root33 are great karaoke bars. Try Humalakoda amd Põhjala taproom for great beer”

“Public transport is okay and very cheap. Uber are cheap also (compared to France). Mexico city is a very big city but in the coolest neighbourhood you can do every thing walking (Roma Norte and condesa).”

“My biggest piece of advice is to travel as much as you can. Chile is an incredible country, but it's also the perfect gateway to explore South America. During my exchange, I visited the Atacama Desert, Chilean Patagonia, the Andes, Machu Picchu in Peru, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, and Brazil. Every destination was unique and unforgettable. Step out of your comfort zone, say yes to new experiences, and make the most of every opportunity”

“I liked its location and the ability to make friends along my corridor and its facilities (gym, catered accommodation, ect). I didn't like the price (expensive for montreal and the food was sometimes not the best)”
